Translation
植芝盛平大先生の道歌
A new living translation of Ueshiba Morihei’s (1977) Aikido Secrets dōka.
The ‘Engineer’s Edition’ of the dōka: precise, granular, and functionally poetic. If John Stevens is a beautiful Zen rock garden, Space-Coyote is the meteor that created the crater. A visceral, un-sanitized look at the Founder’s voice—raw, martial, and unapologetic.

天の浮橋の潜水艦; Ame-no-Ukihashi’s Submarine
踊場にあらぬ音の台にて、下より“thumpies”鳴り、上には星光ほの見え、天の浮橋そのあはひに現れたり。墨黒の乳膠の獣、潜艦のごとく黙して進み、圧の香にまじりて融合の熱と［省略］の幽香、胸の端（はし）を揺さぶりぬ。かのひれめく護謨の肉球、大地を床と思はず伝送の線として歩み、読む者もまたその橋を渡りて帰らむ。

無限重合氣神社の変貌; Metamorphosis at Mugen Jūgōki Jinja
この詩は、コヨーテが変容しゴムの衣をまとい、静けさの中で決意を固めて進む様子を描いています。彼の身体は爪に変わり、荒々しい息を吐きながら星へ向かいます。名を変え、宇宙コヨーテとして新たな存在に生まれ変わり、天と火と水と地の世界を渡ることを表現しています。
