Short stories. 短編小説
I made English translation of my seven short stories. I employed AI to translate and checked myself later, They are good enough to give the reader some idea of what I write. However, they need polishing by the hand of professional native speaker.
私の短編小説7作を英訳しました。AIの力を借りて荒翻訳し、後に自分でチェックしました。この段階で私の作品に込めた意図は伝わると思います。しかし、最終的にはネイティブチェックが必要です。

English translation 英訳
These days, I do not have long hours to work on artworks, I only have fragmented time. So, I make use of the broken time to do English translation of my short stories. I just completed one titled "The Whisper of the sea breeze". which is consists of mostly dialogue between the spirit(soul) of an owner of a mansion with arabesque patterns (https://shangrilahawaii.org/) and of a legendary surfer(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Kahanamoku). 絵を描くまとまった時間が取れない日々です。途切れがちな時間だけがあります。その時間を利用して私の短編小説を英訳しています。今、翻訳が終わったのは「海風の囁き」という作品で、二つの魂の会話から成り立っています。魂の一つはアラベスク模様に覆われた屋敷の主、もう一つは伝説的なサーファーです。

Only in Japan
“I imagined it,” the young traveler said. "Someone from this town sat here. Maybe he came shopping, maybe just to kill time. But he sat here, deftly folding small pieces of paper, making many cranes, using colorful papers. It must have taken quite a while. He probably enjoyed folding them while slowly savoring his coffee. Then, before leaving. he arranged them here like a gift for other visitors to enjoy. I imagined that. And I thought: This is a sight you can only see in Japan. In a small café in a rural town, a heartwarming, peaceful scene like this is created so casually. Only in Japan. Don't you agree?"

A short story ”From Hahalei Bay" 短編小説「ハナレイ湾から」
短編小説を書き上げました。400字詰30枚。タイトルは「ハナレイ湾から」。村上春樹さんの短編「ハナレイ・ベイ」とそれを元にした映画に触発されて書きました。原作よりも映画の方が心にしみました。今、AI翻訳の助けを借りながら英訳しています。I wrote a short story titled "From Hanalei Bay", being inspired by Haruki Murakami's short stroy "Hanalei Bay" and a movie based on it. I felt more with the movie version than the original story. Presently, I am making English translation with a help of AI translator.
