Dubai is often described in extremes. It is called the city of superlatives, the place of the tallest, the largest, the most ambitious. Images of glittering skyscrapers, vast shopping malls, artificial islands, and luxury experiences dominate its presentation to the world. For many, Dubai appears almost unreal, a place that seems to have risen too quickly, too dramatically, to be fully understood. Yet beneath this surface lies something far more structured and deliberate. Dubai is not simply a spectacle.

秋田県にある「秋田三湖」と呼ばれる三つの湖。その全てに龍の伝説が伝わっている。まずは、田沢湖の「辰子姫」。このあたりに住んでいた人間の娘・辰子は、永遠の美を求めて観音菩薩に願を掛け、お告げにより山中の泉の水を飲んだ。しかし喉が渇いて際限なく水を飲み続け、龍の姿に変ってしまった。そこで仕方なく泉を広げて湖とし、そこに住んだ。これが田沢湖だという。湖畔のその泉の近くには、辰子姫を祭る御座石神社が建っている。青森との県境にある十和田湖にも、近くに住んでいたマタギの若者「八郎太郎」が、掟を破って仲間のイワナまで食べてしまい、川の水を飲み続けて龍となり、十和田湖を作って住んだという伝説がある。そこに、熊野で修業を積んだ山伏「南祖坊（なんそのぼう）」が現れる。南祖坊は「草鞋が切れた場所が終の棲家となる」という神託とともに鉄の草鞋を授かり、その切れた場所が十和田湖だった。南祖坊はここで龍に化身して八郎太郎と戦い、勝利する。これが十和田神社に祭られる青龍権現である。敗れた八郎太郎は西へ逃れて湖を作って住む。これが八郎潟であり、湖岸の八郎神社に祭られている。その八郎潟を戦後干拓して作ったのが大潟村で、入植した村民により建てられた大潟神社にも、八郎太郎は祭られている。古の龍伝説を辿り、明日にまで展望を広げた未来志向対談。
