「現代語訳 渋沢栄一自伝」渋沢栄一、守屋淳 "Modern translation Eiichi Shibusawa autobiography" Eiichi Shibusawa, Atsushi Moriya [Impression]
上映中のNHK大河ドラマを見て渋沢栄一に興味を持ったので、手に取った。読み進むにつれて、ドラマで見た内容とそっくり同じだと感じていたら、なんとこの本を元にドラマが作られていたとのこと。
ということで、ほぼドラマの内容をおさらいする感じで読み終えた。
「日本資本主義の父」と称されるこの偉人の人生は、本当に充実していて面白かったのだろうと、私は羨ましく思った。勿論、初めて事を起こすことは、一筋縄ではいかない苦労もあるだろう。元は百姓の出身ということも含め、理不尽だと感じたことも多かったようだ。しかし、そうした経験やフランス留学で見聞した施策などをもとに、次々に思い通りの事業にチャレンジしたことは、とてもエキサイティングだと思う。
そして、著書の後半には、明治の元勲と呼ばれる大久保利通や伊藤博文などの人物評も掲載されていた。これはとても興味深かった。特に、こうした今は称えられている人が、実は人格者ではなかったこと、変な癖があることを知ることができたのはよかった。一方で、大政奉還を決断した元の主人である徳川慶喜への尊敬の念は強いこともよく理解できた。そうした恩人への感謝の念を忘れずに仕事にわき目も振らずに励んだことが、彼の実績につながったと理解した。
これまでNHKの大河ドラマは戦国時代ものは、最後まで見続けたが、明治以降のものは、途中で見なくなっていた。今回は、この本のとおり進むのかを確認するため、最終回まで見届けることになりそうだ。
I was interested in Eiichi Shibusawa when I saw the NHK Taiga drama being shown, so I picked it up. As I read, if I felt that it was exactly what I saw in the drama, NHK said that the drama was based on this book.
So, I almost finished reading the contents of the drama.
I envied that the life of this great man, known as the "father of Japanese capitalism," was truly fulfilling and interesting. Of course, getting things done for the first time can be a daunting task. It seems that he often felt unreasonable, including the fact that he was originally from a peasant family. However, I think it is very exciting to take on the challenge of doing what he wants, based on those experiences and the measures he has learned while studying in France.
And in the latter half of the book, personal reviews such as Toshimichi Okubo and Hirobumi Ito, who are called Genkun of the Meiji era, were also posted. This was very interesting. In particular, it was good to know that these now-praised people were not actually personalities and had strange habits. On the other hand, I could understand well that he has a strong respect for Yoshinobu Tokugawa, the former master who decided to repatriate the Taisei Hokan. I understood that it was his achievement that he did not forget to thank those benefactors and did his best to work.
Until now, NHK's taiga dramas have been watched until the end of the Warring States period, but those after the Meiji era have not been watched on the way. This time, I'm going to wait until the final episode to see if it goes according to this book.
