静かに耳を澄ますと、小鳥たちの声が聞こえてきませんか？かっこう、うぐいす、ほととぎす……。ここでは様々な鳥たちのさえずりを楽しむことができ、感性豊かな日本人は昔から、山間に流れる小鳥のBGMに心を動かされてきました。和歌にも小鳥は頻繁に登場し、『古今和歌集』の冒頭（仮名序）に「花に鳴くうぐいすの声を聞いて、歌を詠まない人などいるはずがない」と書かれているほどです。また、『古今伝授（こきんでんじゅ）』が秘伝としてきた「三木三鳥（さんぼくさんちょう）」のひとつ「よぶこどり」は、かっこうを意味するともいわれ、和歌と小鳥はとても深く結ばれています。

When you listen carefully, can you hear the birdsongs? Here, you can enjoy the calls of various birds, including the common cuckoo, the Japanese bush warbler, and the lesser cuckoo. Since the premodern era, Japanese poets have been deeply attuned to nature, often capturing the sounds of birds in their verses. Birds appear so frequently in waka poetry that the Kana Preface of the Kokin Wakashū, the first imperial poetry anthology, states:
"Hearing the cries of the warbler among the blossoms or the calls of the frog that lives in the waters, how can we doubt that every living creature sings its song?"
Furthermore, three birds are featured in the secret poetic treatise of the Kokin Denju from the medieval era, highlighting the enduring significance of birds in poetic tradition.
◦ Please also visit the Waka Museum of Literature, where you can explore the history of waka poetry.
