15歳になる中学生が「元服式」 決意や誓い示す 福井
かつての儀式「元服」にならい、15歳になる中学生が決意や誓いを示す「元服式」が福井市の中学校で行われました。
福井市の福井工大附属福井中学校では毎年、2年生を対象に「元服式」を行っていて、14日の式には2年生、70人余りが出席しました。
はじめに、古式にのっとって「狩りぎぬ」と呼ばれる衣装を身につけた生徒の代表が校長から頭にえぼしをかぶせてもらいました。
そして、地元ゆかりの幕末の藩士、橋本左内が15歳のときに自分を戒める「啓発録」という書物を書き残したことにちなみ、書物に記された「志を立てる」などといった5つの教訓を全員で読み上げました。
最後に生徒の代表3人が誓いや決意を発表し、「みずから進んで学業に励む」とか「部活動など何事にも諦めずに努力する」などと述べました。
えぼしを受け取った2年生の下村一真さんは「とても緊張しましたが、貴重な体験ができました。周りから信頼されるような大人になりたいです」と話していました。
