40年以上前になりますが、幼い時に怪我をすると母親が「チチンプイプイ、痛いの痛いの飛んでいけ」と言って気持ちを落ち着かせてくれた記憶があります。
この語源の一説として「知仁武勇、御代の御宝(ちじんぶゆう、ごよのおんたから)」と言われております。
師匠や学校の先生、親が子供に向け「貴方はこの世の宝です。知恵、思いやり、武技、勇気を育み力強く生きて行きなさい。」と願い育ててくれたに違いありません。
その想いを決して忘れず、武道精神を失わず、日々精進したいと思います。
Suddenly the children asked me, “What does Chichinpuipui mean?”
It was more than 40 years ago, but when I was a child and I injured myself, I remember my mother calming me down by saying, “chichinpuipui, go away, pain (chichinpuipui, itaiko itaino tondeike).”
One theory about the origin of this phrase is that it means “knowledge, benevolence, and bravery, the treasures of the era (chijin buyu, goyo no ontakara).”
No doubt grandmaster, schoolteachers, and parents raised their children with the hope and hope of saying, “You are a treasure of this world. Cultivate wisdom, compassion, martial arts skills, and courage, and live a strong life.”
I will never forget that feeling, never lose Budo spirit, and continue to work hard every day.
