こんにちは。amazonで何となく欲しい物を見ていると高野文子の新しい本が出ていたので買ってみました。本の内容はともかく僕が気になったのは、子供が書いた文章の持つ力です。一番分かりやすいのは交通安全の標語とか、詩とか川柳でもわざと子供のような口調のものもあります。また映画でも子供の書いた手紙などが、感動を呼ぶアイテムとして使われたりしますが、確かに子供の文章には何か不思議な魅力があります。この本には1961年に東京都豊島区に住んでいた当時9歳のいずみさんの国語ノートに書かれた日記が出てきます。あったことをそのまま書くことは容易いようですが、大人になって書く文章には無い純粋無垢なものが子供の文章にはあります。面白いのは「病院ごっこ」という日記でいきなり盲腸炎とか、衝突事故で怪我をしたなど現実的な言葉が出てきたりすることです。
hello. When I was looking for something I wanted on Amazon, I saw a new book by Fumiko Takano, so I bought it. Aside from the content of the book, I was interested in the power of the sentences written by children. The easiest to understand is the slogan of traffic safety, and even poetry and senryu have a deliberately childish tone.Letters written by children are also used as moving items in movies, and there is certainly something magical about children's writing. This book contains a diary written by Izumi, who was 9 years old in 1961 and lived in Toshima Ward, Tokyo.It seems easy to write what happened as it is, but there is something pure and innocent in children's writing that is not found in writing as an adult. What's interesting is that in the "Hospital Pretend" diary, you can suddenly find realistic words such as appendicitis or being injured in a car accident.
