解決方法は複数あるべきだ
There should be plural solutions.


庭を巡る中心的な動線として遠い道と近い道、二種類の道を用意すること。遠い道は目的地には容易に近づくことができないが、近い道は即座に近づくことができる。室町時代の連歌師・宗長の歌に「もののふの矢橋の船は速けれど急がば回れ瀬田の長橋」がある。対照的な両者は相いれることはなく、どちらを選択するかは、その時ごとの主客の判断に委ねられる。それによって足の進め方・歩く速度・周囲の景色の変化が異なる。近い道を選べばなるべく走ることだ“走る廊下”。そうすればこれまでにない景色が生み出されるだろう。遠さをえらべば主人のこらした庭に徹底的につきあってみるのが良かろう。

Two kinds of roads should be prepared, distant and near, as main routes for people to move around in the garden. Distant roads make it difficult for people to approach their destinations with ease, while near roads make it easy at once. A renga (linked verse) by Munenaga (renga poet in the Muromachi period) reads, “Samurai’s boat goes fast around Yabashi on Lake Biwa, but if you wish to enjoy Oumi-hakkei (eight beautiful views around Lake Biwa), you should walk along the long bridge of Seta.” The former is a contrast to the latter, and which to choose is up to the main guest at the time. According to their choice, their way of proceeding, walking speed, and surrounding scenery vary. In case of choosing a near road, they better run. (A running corridor) Then totally new scenery will emerge. If a distant road is chosen, it will be a good idea to enjoy the host’s elaborately designed garden to their heart’s content.
