Since March 23, I have been thinking of Matazo Kayama‘s cherry blossom paintings. Then, it reminds me of Motojiro Kajii‘s short novel Beneath the Cherry Trees and I read it again.

三月23日以来、私は加山又造の桜の絵の作品群について思いを巡らせていたら、梶井基次郎の「桜の樹の下には」と言う短編小説のことを思い出して、読み直した。

There are some dead bodies buried beneath the cherry trees. The roots of the cherry trees suck the solution of the dead bodies.

桜の樹の下には屍体が埋まっているのだ。桜の根はその養分を吸っている。
