西行さんが愛した吉野山の桜
西行は数多くの桜の歌を詠んでいるが、中でも吉野の桜を題材にした歌は数え切れないくらい有る.西行が若い頃から晩年まで何度も吉野を訪れていたようで、吉野の山奧に籠もっていた時期もあると言う.西行さんの頃の吉野山と現在の吉野山ではまったく状況が異なるだろうが、西行さんが愛して止まなかった吉野山の桜を見に出掛けることにした.

吉野山が日本屈指の桜の名所で桜の季節には大勢の花見客が訪れることは知っていたが、平日にも関わらずもの凄い人出で参道を歩くこともままならなかった.訪れていた花見客の多くは高齢者なので土日も平日も関係ないような人達ばかりだ.吉野山は修験道の聖地で修行の場だった筈だが、現在の吉野山はただの世俗的な観光地なのだろう.
西行庵から谷筋を隔てた向かい側の斜面の樹木が切り倒されて裸地化されていたが、ここに桜の樹でも植えるつもりなのだろうか.自然に生えた山桜はとても愛しいが、観光目当てで無理矢理植えた桜の木々は不自然で痛々しい.
