It has been 50 years since the Club of Rome report highlighted the limits to growth. Since then, the word has spread: We have now understood that things cannot go on like this. But why do we understand, but do not learn? Hence, we now try it the other way round: We learn without understanding. The Cottbus choir will learn Japanese poems from the Edo period in Japan for ReEdoCation phonetically, without understanding them and transform them into songs. We are developing a small cultural technique for this, which may be useful in the future. We are happy to share this cultural technique with anyone who is interested.

うまさうな　雪がふうはり　ふわりかな


寒念仏　さては貴殿で　ありしよな


これがまあ　終のすみかか　雪五尺


雪国の　雪もちよぼちよぼ　残りけり


雪とけて　町一ぱいの　子どもかな


春風や　牛に引かれて　善光寺


傘に　べたりとつきし　桜かな


竹にいざ　梅にいざとや　親雀


すずめの子　そこのけそこのけ　お馬が通る

やせ蛙　負けるな一茶　これにあり


悠然と　して山を見る　蛙かな


やれ打つな　はえが手をする　足をする


あさら井や　小魚と遊ぶ　心太


朝顔や　人の顔には　そつがある


開帳に　逢ふや雀も　おや子連れ


あまり鳴いて　石になるなよ　猫の恋


蚊一つの　一日さはぐ　枕哉


昼の蚊や　だまりこくつて　後から
