English: It is said that a sequence of three claps followed by one final clap (3-3-3-1) are used because 3+3+3=9 (九 in Japanese) and the addition of an extra clap makes a circle (丸) which signifies 'maruku osamaru' (lit. to be settled amicably).
Japanese: 拍数の「3回・3回・3回・1回」は3回の拍が3回で九になり、もう1回手を打つと九に点が打たれて「丸」になり、「丸く納まる」の意味になるからとも言われている。

English: To fulfill Masamune's dream to become a 'sangokuichi no busho' (literally, "the best military commander in the three provinces"), this tejime, having the form of three and one (meaning three provinces and one commander), naturally began to be performed among his vassals at meetings.
Japanese: この手締めは「三国一の武将」たらんとする政宗の夢の実現の祈願を込め、「三国一」の三と一を掛けたものであり、家臣団の間で、いつからか会席においてこの手締めが行われるようになった。
English: It is said that this tejime was performed at the wedding ceremony of the first daughter of Masamune, Princess Iroha, and also at the departure of 'Keicho era mission to Europe,' in which people such as Tsunenaga HASEKURA joined, in 1613.

English: It is said to have originated at the end of the Muromachi period, and is a liquid seasoning which was widely used until the mid-Edo period, along with tare (sauce made with soy sauce, sake, and other seasonings).
Japanese: 室町時代末期に考案されたといわれており、江戸時代中期まではタレと伴に広く用いられた液体調味料である。
English: As the use of soy sauce spread from the mid-Edo period, irizake gradually became used less often and is now not generally used.
Japanese: 江戸時代中期から醤油が普及するにしたがい次第に利用されなくなり、現在では一般に利用される事はほとんど無い。
English: As it does not have a strong taste like soy sauce and makes good use of the flavors of its ingredients, it goes well with sashimi (fresh slices of raw fish) made from white fish and shellfish.
Japanese: 醤油のような強い個性を持たず素材の風味を生かすので、白身魚や貝類の刺身に相性がよい。
English: The seasoning briefly fell out of use completely, but has come to be reevaluated in recent years and is increasingly used as sauce for sashimi in high-class Japanese restaurants.
Japanese: 一時は完全に忘れ去られた調味料であるが、近年再評価されつつあり高級料亭などで刺身のつけだれとして利用される事が増えてきている。
English: Lightly break up umeboshi to cause the flavor come out, and reduce over a low heat until it halves in volume.
Japanese: 梅干の風味がよく出るように軽くほぐし、半量になるまで弱火で煮詰める。
English: The above is a recipe closest to that of the original form of the seasoning, but there are other recipes which include steps such as the addition of irigome (parched wheat or rice), dried bonito and kelp before reducing in order to add flavor and body to the sauce.
Japanese: 上記は最も発祥当初の原型に近い作り方であるが、風味やコクをつける為に「煎り米」、「鰹節」、「コンブ」などを加えて煮詰める作り方もある。
English: For best results, junmaishu (sake made without added alcohol or sugar) and old-fashioned salty umeboshi pickled in only salt and red shiso should be used.
Japanese: 材料の酒は純米酒が、梅干は塩と赤紫蘇だけで漬けた昔ながらの塩辛いものが最適である。
English: "Ryori Monogatari" (tale of food) records that 'Irizake is made by putting 15-20 umeboshi, 2 sho (approx. 1.8 liters) of old sake, a little water, and a little tamari (rich soy sauce) into 1 sho of dried bonito before reducing it down to 1 sho, filtering it and cooling it, while there are some people who add 2 sho of sake and 1 sho of water before reducing it down to 2 sho; Nidashizake (extracted sake) is made by adding a little salt to dried bonito and boiling it for a while with new sake, filtering it and cooling it; and shojin irizake is made by putting chopped umeboshi and hoshi kabura (dried turnips) into grilled tofu with size of dengaku, and boiling it with old sake.'
Japanese: 『料理物語』によれば、「熬酒は鰹一升に梅干十五乃至二十、古酒二升、水少々、溜り少々を入れて一升に煎じ、漉し冷してよし、また酒二升、水一升入れて二升に煎じ使ふ人もある。煮出酒は、鰹に塩少々加へ、新酒で一泡二泡煎じ、漉し冷してよろし、精進の熬酒は、豆腐を田楽ほどに切り、炙つて、梅干、干蕪など刻み入れ、古酒で煎じてよし」という。
English: The storyline of Issunboshi that is currently known to the general public is as follows.
Japanese: 現在一般に知られている一寸法師のあらすじは、以下のようなものである。
English: A childless elderly couple prayed to Sumiyoshi Sanjin (The Three Deities of Sumiyoshi) to bless them with a child, and the elderly woman bore a child.
Japanese: 子供のない老夫婦が子供を恵んでくださるよう住吉三神に祈ると、老婆に子供ができた。
English: However, the child that was born was only one sun tall (three centimeters in the modern metric units), and he did not grow bigger even though the years went by.
Japanese: しかし、産まれた子供は身長が一寸（現代のメートル法で3cm）しかなく、何年たっても大きくなることはなかった。
English: He embarked on his voyage with a bowl as a boat, a chopstick as a paddle, a needle as a sword and a piece of straw as a scabbard.
Japanese: 御椀を船に、箸を櫂にし、針を刀の代わりに、麦藁を鞘の代りに持って旅に出た。
English: The ogre surrendered, begging him to stop because of the pain, and he spat out Issunboshi and ran away into the mountains.
Japanese: 鬼は痛いから止めてくれと降参し、一寸法師を吐き出すと山へ逃げてしまった。
English: Issunboshi took the uchide no kozuchi (miracle mallet) the ogre had dropped, and he shook it to make himself big.
Japanese: 一寸法師は、鬼が落としていった打出の小槌を振って自分の体を大きくした。
English: However, the version published in Otogi Zoshi is a little different from the story that is known now.
Japanese: しかし御伽草子に掲載されたものは、今のようなこととは少し話が異なっている。
English: The elderly couple was starting to fear that Issunboshi might be a monster because he was not growing bigger.
Japanese: 老夫婦が、一寸法師が全く大きくならないので化け物ではないかと気味悪く思っていた。
English: When the prime minister saw him he lied, saying that the daughter took the rice he had been saving.
Japanese: それを見た宰相殿に、自分が貯えていた米を娘が奪ったのだと嘘をついた。
English: However, Issunboshi made use of his small body and got out of the ogre's body through its eye.
Japanese: しかし一寸法師は体の小ささを生かして、鬼の目から体の外に出てしまう。
English: As he repeated this several times the ogre became completely afraid of Issunboshi and he left, leaving behind its uchide no kozuchi.
Japanese: それを何度か繰り返しているうちに、鬼はすっかり一寸法師を恐れ、持っていた打出の小槌を置いて去ってしまった。
English: The plot against the chief's daughter can also be seen and is recorded in "Shinkoku Gudo Zuihitsu (神国愚童随筆)," which was written during the Edo period.
Japanese: 長者の娘への策略は江戸時代に著わされた『神国愚童随筆』にも見え、記録されている。
English: However, there was a concept at work, in which eating the food brought by a suitor was considered as a sign of accepting his intention.
Japanese: しかし、求婚者の携えてきた食物を口にすればその男の意思を受け入れたものと見なす観念が働いている。
English: The idea of 'Chiisanako' (Little child) is considered to have originated in the Japanese mythology of Sukunahikona (little male deity of the earth, suku means little, na means the earth, hiko means male deity, and na is a postfix).
Japanese: 「小さな子」のモチーフは、日本においては日本神話のスクナヒコナ（少・大地男神、スク少・ナ大地・ヒコ男神・ナ接尾辞）がその源流と考えられる。
English: Sukunahikona is linked to the Issunboshi of the Middle Ages in "Kootoko no Soshi" and to the modern Issunboshi in "Otogi Zoshi" through intermediaries of Dojohoshi in 'Nihon Ryoiki' (Miraculous Stories from the Japanese Buddhist Tradition, written in the early Heian period) and SUGAWARA no Michizane in "Tenjin Engi" (The History of Kitano Tenjin Shrine).
Japanese: スクナヒコナは「日本霊異記」の道場法師、『天神縁起』の菅原道真を媒介し中世の『小男の草子』、近世の『御伽草子』の一寸法師にまでつながっていく。
English: Just as Sukunahikona, the deity who created the nation, appeared by the water, the main character of the old tale, 'Chiisako' (Small Child) is also associated with the water realm in some form.
Japanese: 国土造成神スクナヒコナが水辺に出現したように昔話の「小さ子」の主人公も何らかの形で水界と関わっている。
English: The heretic asks god for a favor, and a child is born from the shin or born as a snail (Tanishi Choja).
Japanese: その異端者が神に祈願して脛から生まれたりタニシの姿（田螺長者）で生まれたりする。
English: Because Issunboshi from Otogi Zoshi became famous, local folklores and stories involving little people also came to be called 'Issunboshi.'
Japanese: 御伽草子の一寸法師が有名になったことで、各地に伝わる小さな人が出てくる民話や伝承も「一寸法師」と呼ばれるようになった。
English: The village of Naniwa in Tsu Province, where Issunboshi lived, is considered to be the region near present-day Mittera and Nanba area.
Japanese: なお一寸法師が住んでいた津の國難波の里とは現在の三津寺（ミッテラ）から難波付近と言われている。
English: In addition, because it says in Otogi Zoshi, 'Leaving the waters of Naniwa where I used to live, my heart races to the Capital,' it is said that present-day Dotonbori-gawa River is the water of Naniwa from which he embarked on his trip to Kyoto in a bowl.
Japanese: また御伽草子には「すみなれし難波の浦をたちいでて都へいそぐわが心かな」とあるため、椀に乗って京に向って出発した難波の浦は、現在の道頓堀川だと言い伝えられている。
English: Just as Okuninushi no Mikoto (Ohonamuchi, oho means great, na means the earth, muchi means revered being) created a country with the help of Sukunahikona, dwarfs pair up with giants, and they share their attributes of heroes, which are power and wisdom.
Japanese: 大国主命（オホナムチ・大大地尊、オホ大、ナ大地、ムチ尊い方）がスクナヒコナの助力により国づくりをしたように小人は巨人とペアになって英雄の属性たる力と知恵をそれぞれ分け持つことが多い。
English: While the giant turns into an ogre or fall into being ridiculed for his lack of wisdom, the dwarf uses his craftiness.
Japanese: 巨人が知恵の欠落により鬼や笑われ者へと転落するのに対し、小人は悪知恵を働かせる。
English: Rather than physical strength, perhaps, craftiness that enables one to maneuver through real-life difficulties was more desirable to the social strata.
Japanese: 社会層にとっては力よりも現実的な困難をするりとかわして行く狡知のほうが求められたのだろう。
English: In the old tale of a sly and crafty man, "Tawara Yakushi," the main character appears as a sly and craftily child villain who doesn't even possess a shred of sense of justice of a hero.
Japanese: 昔話の狡猾者譚『俵薬師』には英雄にあるべき正義のかけらもないような狡猾な悪者としての主人公のわらしが登場する。
English: He thoroughly beats and kills his wealthy master, and though the way he does this is similar to the story of Issunboshi, it is malicious.
Japanese: 雇い主の金持ちを徹底的にやっつけ殺すその手口は一寸法師に似ているものの悪質である。
English: The child gives one lie after another to cheat the master, and the child finally kills the master by pushing him down the levee.
Japanese: わらしは次々と嘘をついて主人を騙しついには堤に突き落とし殺してしまう。
English: The story ends, 'Then he forces the master's wife to marry him. How funny.'
Japanese: 「嫌がるおかみ様と無理やり夫婦になったどさ。どっとはらい。」と語り収める。
English: This manner of the narrative is somewhat humorous and filled with parody and black humor.
Japanese: その語り口はどこかユーモラスでありパロディとブラックユーモアに満ち満ちている。
English: The young boy of Tawara Yakushi, who gains wealth and a woman through lies and slaughtering, is an opposite image of Issunboshi, who gains ogre's treasure and a woman through his cleverness.
Japanese: 嘘と虐殺によって富と女を手にする俵薬師の少年は知恵によって鬼の宝と女を手にする一寸法師の裏の姿である。
English: To cover himself he tricks and murders even the helpless people, such as a blind man who just happened to pass by, as well as a beggar with an eye illness.
Japanese: ただ通りがかっただけの座頭・眼病病みの乞食といった弱者でさえ騙し身代わりとして殺してしまう。
English: Here, what is brought to light is the dark side of the village in which killing outsiders constitutes a compensation.
Japanese: ここに異人達を撲殺し代償として成り立つ村の暗い一面が照らし出されている。
English: In telling the story of malicious workings of a clever mind with humor and laughter, it brings out an aspect of a clever mind that is destructive and beyond the establishment.
Japanese: 悪質な知恵の働きを笑いとユーモアの中に語るところに、知恵の破壊的な超秩序な側面が示されている。
English: It implies that a clever mind strips off meaning from justice and fairness, and that it has a dangerous power to laugh away the stable order which is important in maintaining authority.
Japanese: 知恵は正義や潔さを無意味化し権力の維持にとって重要な安定した秩序を笑い飛ばす危険なパワーをはらみもつのだという。
English: Sukunahikona, though he was a god who created the nation, he, in fact, was also a creator of chemical technology such as sake brewing and medicine making.
Japanese: スクナヒコナは国土創造神であり実は薬作り酒造りなどの化学技術の創造神であった。
English: Tokiwa INOMATA, a lecturer at Kyoritsu Women's Junior College, analyzes that this implies that a 'clever mind' does not simply represent cultural order.
Japanese: これも「知恵」が単純に文化秩序を象徴するわけではないことを物語っている、と共立女子短期大学講師・猪股ときわは分析する。
English: They are Issunboshi, Sunekotanpako, Akuto Taro (Akuto means heel), Mamesuke (thumb), Yubitaro (name that describes where he was born), Mameichi, Goburato (Jiro) (a name that describes that he is small), Sanmontake, Issunkotaro, Tanishi (mud snail), Katatsumuri (snail), Kaeru (frog), Koropokkuru (small people in Ainu folklore) Kamui of Ainu, Kijimuna, Kenmun, and on the point of being very small at birth, Momotaro, Uriko Hime (Princess Uriko) and Kaguya Hime (Princess Kaguya) are also related.
Japanese: 一寸法師、すねこたんぱこ、あくと太郎（あくとは踵）、豆助（親指）、指太郎（生まれた場所を表す名。）、豆一、五分太郎（次郎）（小さいことを表す名。）、三文丈、一寸小太郎、タニシ、カタツムリ、かえる、アイヌのコロポックルカムイ、キジムナー、ケンムンなど、誕生の際異常に小さい点では桃太郎、瓜子姫、かぐや姫も類縁関係である。
English: The story that evolves from being born from a shin or a finger, and the birth of a small animal to marriage by trickery is old, but is newer than the figure of Issunboshi in Otogi Zoshi.
Japanese: 脛指からの誕生や小動物の誕生から策略による結婚への展開は古く御伽草子の一寸法師形よりは新しい。
English: In the storyline, Issunboshi went to Kyoto because he wanted to become a samurai.
Japanese: 物語の筋の上では、一寸法師は武士になりたいといい京の都に行くとある。
English: However, in reality, he detected the elderly couple's fear of him because he was not growing bigger, therefore he left home before they could abandon him.
Japanese: しかし、実際、いつまでたっても大きくならず成長しない法師を気味悪がる老夫婦を察知し、捨てられる前に家出した。
English: It is a story of a woman from the water realm (the sea) who has an immaculate conception due to her relationship with a god, and she gives birth to a 'little child.'
Japanese: 水界（海）の女人が神との交合により処女懐胎し「小さな子」を産み落とす話である。
English: According to a historical novelist Yuji SEKI, the god of Sumiyoshi to whom the elderly couple asks for favor is the Sumiyoshi Sanjin enshrined at Sumiyoshi-taisha Shrine.
Japanese: 歴史作家・関裕二によれば、老夫婦が祈願する住吉の神とは住吉大社にまつられている住吉三神である。
English: Empress Jingu was a mysterious character because she is thought to have had an 'extramarital affair' with Sumiyoshi Okami when her husband, Emperor Chuai, died while she was in present-day northern Kyushu region.
Japanese: その神功皇后は今の北九州地方に滞在中、夫仲哀天皇を亡くし住吉大神といわゆる「不倫」をしたとされるいわく付きの人物でもある。
English: At Sumiyoshi-taisha Shrine Empress Jingu and Sumiyoshi Okami are enshrined closely together, but Emperor Chuai is not enshrined.
Japanese: 住吉大社には仲哀天皇が祀られず神功皇后と住吉大神が寄り添うように祀られている。
English: Even at shrines that enshrine Emperor Ojin, and at Hachiman-jinja Shrines that enshrine Empress Jingu throughout Japan, Emperor Chuai is equally ignored.
Japanese: 日本全国各地の応神天皇を祀る神社や神功皇后を祀る八幡神社神社も同様に仲哀天皇が無視されている。
English: Emperor Ojin enshrined at Iwashimizu Hachiman-gu Shrine (presently at Yawata City, Kyoto Prefecture) looks very much like Issunboshi, and it is said that he was born riding on a bamboo leaf at the age of three.
Japanese: 石清水八幡宮（現・京都府八幡市）に祀られている応神天皇は一寸法師にそっくりであり、3歳で生まれ竹の葉の上に乗り生まれて来たとある。
English: Similarly, behind Kagoshima-jingu Shrine (presently at Kirishima City, Kagoshima Prefecture) that enshrines the same Hachiman-gu deity, there is Nageki no Mori Forest.
Japanese: 同様に同じ八幡宮を祀る鹿児島神宮（現・鹿児島県霧島市）の裏手に奈毛木（なげき）の森がある。
English: According to a local lore, it is said that long ago, a small but noble child (hiruko (leech child)) was born, but he was abandoned and was left in the currents of water, and he was sad and distressed.
Japanese: 当地に伝わる伝説としてその昔高貴な小子（蛭子）が生まれ流し捨てられ嘆き悲しんだとある。
English: As Seki implies, it can be interpreted that Sumiyoshi Okami bestowed Issunboshi, who looked just like Emperor Ojin, to Empress Jingu.
Japanese: 関が暗示するように、応神天皇に似た一寸法師を住吉大神が授けたとも取れる。
English: Therefore, it seems to imply that Emperor Ojin was a child between Empress Jingu and Sumiyoshi Okami.
Japanese: したがって、応神天皇が神功皇后と住吉大神の子であることを暗示しているようである。
English: Shiotsuchinooji encouraged the Eastern Expedition of Emperor Jinmu (story in Japanese mythology about the first generation of the Imperial family), while Takenouchi helped the Eastern Expedition of Emperor Ojin, sharing a common point.
Japanese: 塩土老翁は神武東征をうながし、武内は応神東征を助けたことでも共通している。
English: Therefore, it is convincing that the father of Emperor Ojin, known as Issunboshi, was not Emperor Chuai but Sumiyoshi Okami, who was TAKENOUCHI no Sukune.
Japanese: したがって、一寸法師こと応神天皇の父は仲哀天皇でなく住吉大神で武内宿禰だったと納得がいく。
English: It is highly possible that the people who destroyed the Soga clan and took over the realm during the eighth century rewrote the history of the royal family.
Japanese: ８世紀に蘇我氏を滅亡に追いやり天下を取った人々が王家の歴史を書き換えた可能性が高い。
English: It is a story created out of necessity to cover up the fact that the Soga clan, who was taunted as 'the worst villains in the realm,' was a blood relative of the royal family.
Japanese: 「天下の大悪人」とののしられた蘇我氏が王家の血筋にかかわりを持っていたことを隠匿するために必要にかられ創られた物語である。
English: The Soga clan was a loser in history, and their identity and accomplishments have been erased from the "official history."
Japanese: 蘇我氏は歴史の敗北者であり、『正史』によりその正体と功績が抹消されている。
English: It can be said that those who lost and were left to decay in history created this type of fairy tale, out of their desire to pass down to posterity their regrets and historical truths.
Japanese: 歴史に破れ朽ち果てた者たちが、無念の思いと歴史の真実を後世に残したいと思いこの種のお伽話を創作したといえる。
English: Yuji SEKI says that two opposing views born out of a struggle between 'those who tried to erase history' and 'those who wanted to protect history' created a 'fairy tale that smoothed out the truths' and a 'fairy tale that clarified the truths.'
Japanese: 「歴史を抹殺する者」と「歴史を残そうとする者」の葛藤の間に生まれこの２つの対立する立場が、「真相をうやむやにするためのお伽話」と「真相を明らかにするためのお伽話」を生み出した、と関祐二は語る。
English: In any case, it can be said that the shadow of the historical Soga clan is contained in the two old tales of Issunboshi and Urashima Taro.
Japanese: いずれにせよ一寸法師と浦島太郎の2つの昔話の中に歴史上の蘇我氏の影が身を潜めていると言える。
English: However, had it been growing since the birth of human beings long ago, there may be a medical anthropological question that says that perhaps, the first humans were about the size of Issunboshi.
Japanese: 遠い人類誕生期から伸び続けていたら、最初人間は一寸法師くらいの大きさだったのだろうかという医療人類学的な問いかけもあるかもしれない。
English: There are proverbs that involve shojin (small person, small character, physically short person, Issunboshi) such as, if a small person sits idle he will do something that's not good, which means that if a person of small character has too much time on his hands he will do something that's not good.
Japanese: 小人（しょうじん、小人物、背の低い人、一寸法師、）の諺は、小人閑居して不義を為す…小人物は暇だとついよくないことをする。
English: A small person making a mistake will always embellish it, which means when a person of small character makes a mistake he won't try to change it for the better, but instead, he will try to cover it up and embellish it.
Japanese: 小人の過つやかならず文（かざ）る…小人物は過ちを犯してもそれを改めようとはしないで、つくろい飾ろうとする。
English: A small person is innocent, but he becomes a sinner if he holds a treasure, which means being a small person in itself is not a sin, but if a small person comes into possession of an inappropriate amount of treasure he often tends to make mistakes.
Japanese: 小人に罪無し、玉を抱いて罪有り…小人というだけで罪はないのだが、小人が身分不相応の財宝を持つと、とかく過ちを犯しやすい。
English: With Issunboshi, a book from the collection of 24 volumes of "Nihon Mukashibanashi" (Old Tales of Japan) authored by Sazanami IWAYA (introduced in 1896), which were children's books during the Meiji period, the Sazanami-style Issunboshi became established.
Japanese: 明治時代の児童書、巖谷小波著『日本昔噺』（1896年・明治29年発表）全24編の内の一冊、一寸法師において小波型一寸法師を定着させた。
English: Later, this book was reprinted more than 20 times in about 10 years until 1907, and it was read continuously until the end of the Taisho period.
Japanese: この本はその後、明治40年までの約10年間に20余版を重ね、大正末期まで読み継がれた。
English: It can be said that the overall plot in most of the children's books that are published now falls along the line of the Sazanami-type Issunboshi.
Japanese: 現在出版されている児童書は、大筋では大半がこの小波型一寸法師の線上にあるといってよい。
English: For illustrated books, "Issunboshi" (published by Fukuinkan Shoten Publishers, Inc., 1965) retold by Momoko ISHII and illustrated by Fuku AKINO, is outstanding.
Japanese: 絵本では石井桃子・再話、秋野不矩・絵『いっすんぼうし』（1965年福音館書店刊）が出色。
English: In Japan, The Fairy Tales of Charles PERRAULT "Oyayubikozo" (Hop o' my Thumb) was used as the title of "Issunboshi Novel," and they were both introduced in the magazine, "Shokokumin" in 1896.
Japanese: 日本ではペロ－童話の『おやゆびこぞう』が1896（明治29年）に『小説一寸法師』の題名としてそれぞれ雑誌『小国民』に紹介された。
English: In 1905, 'Issunboshi' with lyrics written by Sazanami IWAYA appeared in "Jinjo Shogaku Shoka" (songs collected for common elementary education), and it continues to be sung by children.
Japanese: 1905年（明治38年）『尋常小学唱歌』にも巖谷小波作詞の「一寸法師」が収められ、子供たちに歌い継がれている。
English: With this song as a start, the story was included in Japanese textbooks for third graders in 1874, and it spread widely.
Japanese: この唱歌がもとになって、明治7年、小学3年の国語の教科書に物語がのり、広く流布した。
English: Even to this day, many consent to this model of advancement in life and social advancement of the disadvantaged.

English: On the way back from Kiyomizu-dera Temple, an ogre appeared, but when he tried to eat him Hoshi danced into the ogre's mouth
Japanese: さても帰りの清水寺に　鬼が一匹現れ出でて　食ってかかればその口へ　法師たちまち踊りこむ
English: Holding a pin as his sword in the sakate (reverse) position he pricked the belly, the ogre spat out Hoshi and ran away with all of his might
Japanese: 針の刀を逆手にもって　チクリチクリと腹つけば　鬼は法師を吐きだして　一生けんめい逃げていく
