平家物語・那須 与一

 さる程に、阿波・讃岐に平家をそむいて源氏をまちける物ども、あそこの峰、こゝの洞より十四五騎、廿騎うちつれうちつれ参りければ、判官ほどなく三百余騎にぞなりにける。「けふは日暮れぬ、勝負を決すべからず」とて、引退く処に、おきの方より尋常にかざツたる小舟一艘、みぎはへむいてこぎよせけり。磯へ七八段ばかりになりしかば、舟をよこさまになす。「あれはいかに」と見る程に、舟のうちより、よはい十八九ばかりなる女房の、まことにゆうにうつくしきが、柳のいつゝぎぬにくれなゐのはかま着て、みな紅の扇の日出したるを、舟のせがいにはさみ立てて、陸へむひてぞまひたる。

Changing

Well, I guess this experiment was a big bust. I just don't have the time to do write like I should. And I think everyone else is just as busy.

So I think I will discontinue this site, although I need to start another site for my bungo class seminar. I/we need a place where we can easily go to to gather and exchange information, so this just might be the place since. If you are interested in reading old Japanese documents you are welcome to continue to come by.

As for the literary stuff i will post from time to time, I will continue it when I have time on my jakuren site at Xanga. Sorry for thie inconvenience guys....
