石塔絞り


家族経営による石の解体屋ありけり。
造園工事中の庭にて石塔を解体せんとする。

まず次男が解体し、それを長男が持ち運ぶ。
最後に棟梁たる父親が組み立てる段取り。

次男がノミと金づちで石塔に裂け目を入れた。

しかし、あまりに重い。
上部だけを地面に下ろすこともできない。

崩れないよう石塔を押さえるだけで精一杯。
家族経営の限界か。

そこへ棟梁が一石を投じる。
見る見るすぼまる石の塔。

「石塔しぼり」とはこのことか。


Stone Tower Squeezing

There was a stone demolisher run by a family.

It tries to dismantle the stone tower
in the garden during landscaping.

First, the second son dismantles,
and the eldest son carries it.

Finally, the setup that the father,
the president, assembles.

The second son made a crack in the stone tower
with a chisel and a hammer.

But it's too heavy.
He cannot even lower only the top to the ground.

He just tried to hold down the stone tower
so that he would not collapse.

Is it the limit of family management?

The master beam throws one stone there.
A stone tower that swells while you are watching.

Is this "stone tower squeezing?"
