Source Authority and Review Boundary
The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 55. Its canonical text, structural analysis, and evidence labels govern any discrepancy. This English rendering preserves the transliteration, literal gloss, and interpretive layer separately; it does not expand the Japanese authority’s claims.
Publication boundary: this page does not reproduce private research archives or the full text of rights-unverified modern materials. Historical, linguistic, and comparative statements retain the certainty limits of the Japanese authority.
Review disclosure: linguistically reviewed by TENMON AI under owner authorization; it is not represented as human-reviewed.
Transliteration
Iki Kokoro — Nakatsu Mishiro — Itsuo no Me — Shiki Ke Kaku Tsuchi — Iyashiro no Tsuchi
Literal Gloss
The human stands as a heart of living breath, containing a clear central field of embodiment. The discerning eye of potent fire opens and distinguishes the fire-water path. The pattern of vital energy is placed in hidden soil, which becomes earth where sacred presence may dwell.
Interpretive English
Uta 55 establishes the human as breath-mind with a clear center, discerning vision, hidden energetic pattern, and Iyashiro earth. These are interpretive source concepts, not factual etymology.
Evidence Boundary
This English edition preserves the Japanese source’s distinction between canonical text, structural observation, TENMON interpretation, comparison, and unverified hypothesis. Sound correspondences are not presented as proof of historical etymology.
