Japanese Scroll of Tomorrow Is Another Day (ashita wa ashita no kaze ga fuku) — Calligraphy by Eri Takase
明日は明日の風が吹く Original Scroll by Master Calligrapher Eri Takase

Abstract

明日は明日の風が吹く, tomorrow, tomorrow's wind will blow, is a Japanese proverb found in a young man's mouth in a novel of the pleasure quarter with a preface dated 1784, eighty-one years before the first citation in the 精選版日本国語大辞典. Its users take it two ways: a shrug at what cannot be helped, and a hope that a better wind may come. It is in German from 1897 and in English from 1903, the earliest known. A legend holds the line was translated from Scarlett O'Hara's tomorrow is another day in the Japanese Gone with the Wind, but the proverb is more than a century and a half older, the novel's Japanese translation of 1940 gave Scarlett the sun, and the wind is in the film press's printing of her line in 1952, the year the film reached Japan, while a screenplay published that year kept the sun: the line borrowed the proverb, not the reverse.

A reading

My reading is that the proverb has two faces and that the dictionaries are right to give it one sense: leave tomorrow to tomorrow and do not fret. The two faces are in its oldest uses. In Tsukitei Kashō 月亭可笑's novel of 1784 a young man who has set his father's seal to a note without leave says it, and goes on to the creditor's fuss tomorrow and his father finding out, and in Hirotsu Ryūrō 広津柳浪's novel of 1898 a drinker says it over his cup: a shrug, let it blow. In Kawatake Mokuami 河竹黙阿弥's play of 1865 a wife counting the last coins answers her husband's proverb with a good wind may come too: a hope. In Udagawa Bunkai 宇田川文海's novel of 1889 a wife turns the same figure against her husband: yesterday and today the north wind, and when for once a south wind came, it was a storm. The 又 of tomorrow another wind will blow does not decide between them, since the rake of 1784 and the drinker of 1898 both say it and shrug. What the proverb asks of a rendering is the wind, because each of these answers is made with it. The film's line of 1952 is a late borrowing and changes none of this; the reading I do not take, a line translated from English, is set out in What is not a source.

Overview

The sense. One sense, with two faces. Fujii Otoo 藤井乙男's dictionary of 1910 says to leave tomorrow's business to tomorrow's fate and be at ease [1]. The readers split it: in the rake of 1784, the drinker of 1898 and Kitahara Hakushū 北原白秋's bohemian of 1920 it is let it blow, a shrug; in the wife's answer of 1865 it is a good wind may come too, a hope [2]. 言泉 of 1921 gives the hope a dictionary's form, when the time comes there will be some expedient, so do not borrow trouble [3], and the dictionaries today say do not fret [4]; those between leave it to fate or forbid borrowing trouble (1893 to 1933). In the dictionaries it is counsel against fretting, with tomorrow left to fate; the shrug is in the mouth.

The words. 明日 is tomorrow, and the witnesses print two readings beside it: あす in most of them, from 1784 to 1935, and あした in the 1865 play, the 1893 古今俚諺類聚, Hakushū's book of 1920 and a study of 1922. It is not a change from one period to the next. The dictionaries today head the proverb あした [4]; of the word, the デジタル大辞泉 calls あした the most everyday reading and あす the word of older origin, and the 精選版 日本国語大辞典 says あす is now slightly more formal than あした [5]. は … の doubles the topic, as for tomorrow, tomorrow's, which is the proverb's shape and the shape of its kin, 明日は明日、今日は今日. 風, kaze, is the wind, and in this family the wind is fortune, the way things blow; two wives, in 1865 and 1889, answer the proverb in the same figure. 吹く, fuku, blows; the 1784 form ふかふ is the Edo spoken future. Half the witnesses carry a 又, again: 明日は又明日の風が吹く, tomorrow another wind will blow, and it is in the oldest.

The proverb in English. It reached a Western language first, as far as is known, in German, in Paul Ehmann's collection of 1897, Morgen weht der Wind von morgen, glossed with Matthew 6:34 [6], and English by 1903, in a series of Japanese sayings with English in a journal, The Register and Messenger: To-morrow, to-morrow's wind blows, glossed again with Matthew [7]. We Japanese gave To-morrow blows to-morrow's wind in 1934 [8], and Akiyama Aisaburō 秋山愛三郎's book of proverbs Tomorrow blows a tomorrow's wind in 1935 [9]. The Japanese-English dictionaries on the house's shelf, from Hepburn 1872 to 竹原's abridged Standard, read in its printing of 1946, do not render it; the Meiji ones have another day only for 後日 and 他日. The English proverb books after the war carry it: Okada Rokuo's Tomorrow there will be another wind blowing [10], Daniel Buchanan's Tomorrow blows tomorrow's wind [11], Guy Zona's Tomorrow blows the wind of tomorrow [12]. The dictionaries today give Tomorrow is another day (英語ことわざ教訓辞典 [13], ことわざを知る辞典 [4]), Tomorrow will take care of itself (JMdict [13]), and JMdict's literal, tomorrow, the winds of tomorrow will blow.

The historical record

1784. Tsukitei Kashō 月亭可笑, 角鶏卵, a novel of the 内藤新宿 quarter. The National Diet Library dates its copy by the preface, 天明4序, 1784. The book sets itself in a quarter it calls 内東宿, naitōjuku, west of the Kamakura palace, and the editors of its 1916 typeset describe it as 内藤新宿遊里の世界を描き, depicting the world of the Naitō Shinjuku pleasure quarter. A young man, 粂, has set his father's seal to a promissory note without leave and cannot pay. Asked what he will do: どふのこふのと此ひどい中から仕かたはねへが、又あすはあすの風がふかふはさ, nothing to be done in such a mess, but tomorrow another wind will blow, and he goes on: しかしあすきてやかましくいふ事もぜひがねへが、親父の印判を盜出して、手形をしておいたから、親父へしれると…, still, there is no helping his coming tomorrow to make a fuss, but I took my father's seal and made out the note, so if my father hears of it… He uses the line unexplained, as if it were already a saying, which makes the proverb older than the book, as far as one book can show; the National Diet Library's full-text search at all years, on ten forms of the line, and the house's local copy of its texts return nothing earlier [14].

1865. Kawatake Mokuami 河竹黙阿弥, 上総綿小紋単地, act six. The 精選版日本国語大辞典's first citation [2][4]. 市兵衛 and お賤 are counting their last coins in a basket, a 笊; the pawnshop is exhausted; a worn under-kimono is to be carried to the lender. 市兵「まあ、差掛つて今夜の所を、明日は明日の風が吹けば。 お賤「ほんにさうでござんす、一寸延びれば尋とやら、又よい風もござんせう, "Well, for tonight, at a pinch; tomorrow, tomorrow's wind will blow, so…" "True; an inch stretched becomes a fathom, they say, and a good wind may come too." The reading あした is printed beside the word.

1889 to 1908. The novelists. Udagawa Bunkai 宇田川文海, 1889, gives it to a husband, and his wife answers in the same figure: 直吉「出來たことなら仕方がない明日は明日の風が吹くだらう」 お爲「夫が當にならないので昨日も今日も北風で困つてゐるところへ偶に南風が吹いたと思つたら此樣な暴風で實に始末が附かない…」, "What's done is done; tomorrow's wind will blow tomorrow." "That is just what we cannot count on: yesterday and today the north wind, and when for once a south wind blew, a storm like this, truly past handling"; the narration has it a few pages before, with 又 [15]. Hirotsu Ryūrō 広津柳浪, 1898, a man over his cup: 酒でも明日は又明日の風か吹くぺいから [16]. Murakami Namiroku 村上浪六, 1908: また明日は明日の風が吹くよ、實は一日、飮まず食ずだからね [17]. The proverb in the mouths of people with nothing.

1893 to 1933. The dictionaries. 古今俚諺類聚 (1893) lists it, with あした beside both 明日 [18]; 皇国俚諺叢 (1901) prints, as the next entry, 又あすはあすの神がまもる, tomorrow's god keeps tomorrow [19]; Fujii's 諺語大辞典 (1910): 【明日ハ又明日ノ風ガ吹ク】明日の事は明日の運命に委せて、安んずべし, leave tomorrow's business to tomorrow's fate and be at ease, with no source [1]; 大日本国語辞典 (1915): 未來の事は、その時の運命に任せて、取越苦勞をすべからず, leave the future to the fate of its time, and do not borrow trouble [20]; 言泉 (1921), filing it among the words read あす: 前途の事は、その期に至らば、何とか便宜の法あるければ取越苦勞はすべからず, of what lies ahead: when the time comes there will be some expedient, so do not borrow trouble [3]; 俚諺大辞典 (1933) calls it 同義, synonymous, with 明日は明日の神が守る [21].

1897. Paul Ehmann, the earliest rendering in a Western language known. Ehmann's collection of Japanese proverbs, printed in Tokyo, no. 111: Ashita wa ashita no kaze ga fuku. 明日は明日の風が吹く Morgen weht der Wind von morgen, tomorrow blows tomorrow's wind, glossed, the verse unnamed, with the last clause of Matthew 6:34 in a German close to Luther's, es ist genug, dass jeder Tag seine eigene Plage habe, the King James's sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof [6]. The pairing with Matthew begins here, as far as the sources read show; the English journal of 1903 keeps it, and after the war Okada, who closes his entry for it on Matthew after the other proverbs of tomorrow, and Buchanan [7][10][11].

1901 and 1927. 塩原多助後日譚, a storyteller's sequel. The sequel to the story of 塩原多助, printed in 1901 as told by the storyteller 三遊亭金馬, gives it to the Edo townsman who kept no money overnight: 宵越しの錢を持たないと云つたやうな譯で有れば有るだけ遣ひ、えーまゝよ明日はあすの風が吹あ、男は裸体百貫, as the saying went, he kept no money overnight and spent whatever he had: oh well, tomorrow's wind will blow, and a man is worth a hundred kan in his bare skin, with あす beside the first 明日 [22]. The collected works of 三遊亭円朝 print the same passage under his name in 1927, 明日は明日の風が吹かア、男は裸體百貫 [23]. Who first told the story, and when, the sources read here do not say.

1903. The Register and Messenger, the earliest English known. A journal printed mostly in English, with Japanese, edited by R. Masujima, published 18 January 1903 (new series, vol. I, no. 5; the National Diet Library catalogues it as 春秋), runs a numbered series of Japanese sayings with English, Materials for Dictionary. Its no. 132, as the Library indexes its digitized copy: Asu wa asu no kaze ga fuku 明日は明日の風が吹く To-morrow, to-morrow's wind blows. This is the same meaning as " take no thought for the morrow, sufficient unto the day is the… [7]. No. 131 before it is 明日は明日の神が守る, The god of to-morrow takes care of… The English begins, as the German had, with Matthew beside it.

1920 to 1938. The readers. Hakushū uses it for what a sparrow is not: 明日は明日の風が吹くと云ふやうな自棄くそなボヘミヤンの心, the reckless bohemian heart [24]. Gonda Yasunosuke 権田保之助 (1922) reads the Edo craftsman who kept no money overnight by it: 宵越しの金が腐つて仕舞ひ、明日は明日の風が吹くと濟ましてゐることが出來たのである [25]. The 高島易断 almanacs of 1921 and 1930 hand it out as a month's fortune, in nearly the same words: 明日は明日の風が吹くと云ふ態度で物事を苦にしても役に立たぬ月である [26][27]. Sugiyama Heisuke 杉山平助 (1938) hears in it a patience he calls sullen, 實に不貞くさつた料簡 [28].

1934. We Japanese. A book of Japanese customs for the visitors of the Fujiya Hotel, written and compiled by Frederic de Garis, book 1, December 1934; as the National Diet Library indexes its digitized copy, ASU WA ASU NO, KAZE GA FUKU. To-morrow blows to-morrow's wind. "To-morrow is another day.", setting To-morrow is another day, the English proverb's later wording, beside it [8]. The copy of 1935 carries the same, and so does the printing of 1936 that the Internet Archive indexes, catalogued under Yamaguchi Shōzō. The English equation is older than the Japanese Gone with the Wind.

1935 and 1940. Akiyama Aisaburō 秋山愛三郎, Japanese Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases. A book of proverbs published in Kyoto by the Japan Welcome Society, which Buchanan describes as Akiyama's enlargement and revision of a booklet of 1928, Popular Proverbs of Nippon [11]. As the National Diet Library indexes its digitized copy, the entry reads 明日(アス)は明日(アス)の風が吹く, with Tomorrow blows a tomorrow's wind and the English equation Tomorrow is a new day [9]. Tomorrow is a new day is the wording of the earliest quotation in the Oxford dictionary's entry for the English proverb, to morrow is a new day, about 1527 [29]. In 1940 the Board of Tourist Industry, quoting Akiyama's book by his leave in its appendix to the Tourist Library's Japanese Proverbs, prints Asu wa asu no kaze ga huku. Tomorrow blows tomorrow's wind., with Tomorrow brings its own fortune and Tomorrow is a new day as the nearest equivalents [30].

1940 and 1952. Gone with the Wind in Japanese. Margaret Mitchell's novel ends on Scarlett's After all, tomorrow is another day [31]. Ōkubo Yasuo 大久保康雄's translation of the novel, in the 1940 printing, closes her thought on the sun, not the wind: なんといつても、明日はまた明日の陽が照るのだ, after all, tomorrow the sun will shine again [32]. The film reached Japan in September 1952 [33]. The wind is in the film press's printing of its scenario: キネマ旬報 in April 1952 and 映画ストーリー in August close Scarlett's speech at Tara on 要するに、明日はまた明日の風が吹くんだわ, in short, tomorrow another wind will blow, the August one ending, a few lines on, with (終り), the end [34][35]. The screenplay published the same year, Sidney Howard's, translated by Takase Shizuo 高瀬鎮夫 under Ōkubo's supervision, keeps the sun: 明日にはまた明日の陽が照る [36]. In 1966 an advertisement for the Ōkubo and Takeuchi translation says the novel closes on 明日はまた明日の風が吹く [37]. Like the oldest witness, the film press's line has a また, again, though in another place.

1958 to 1996. The English proverb books. Okada Rokuo, in the second edition of 1958 (the first, of 1955, not read): Asu wa mata asu no kaze ga fuku. Tomorrow there will be another wind blowing … this one here means that tomorrow will take care of itself [10]. Buchanan, in 1965: Tomorrow blows tomorrow's wind. English parallel: Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof [11]. Zona, in 1996: Tomorrow blows the wind of tomorrow [12].

1958. A film and a song. Inoue Umetsugu 井上梅次's film 明日は明日の風が吹く, with Ishihara Yūjirō 石原裕次郎, and Yūjirō's song of the same name: the proverb as a title [4].

The dictionaries today. デジタル大辞泉: 明日はまた、別の成り行きになるので、くよくよするな、の意, tomorrow will turn out otherwise, so do not fret. The ことわざを知る辞典 quotes Ishimure Michiko 石牟礼道子 in 1974, 明日は明日の風の吹く、と思うてばかり暮らしよりました, and gives the English Tomorrow is another day [4].

What is not a source. No dictionary read here names a source, and the honest state is that none is known: Fujii gives none, the 日国 gives a usage. The kin the dictionaries set beside it are pairings: 明日は明日の神が守る; 明日の事は明日案じよ, worry about tomorrow tomorrow, which the 1915 and 1933 dictionaries pair with the couplet 今朝有酒今朝醉、明日愁來明日愁, quoted from the 恒言録 [20][21]; and the Chinese 船到橋頭自然直, the boat straightens itself when it reaches the bridge, which a Japanese-Chinese dictionary of 1925 sets beside it [38], and a reader of Peking sayings of the same year, which prints it 船頭橋頭自然直 [39]. And a legend, named as one: that the proverb comes from the Japanese Gone with the Wind, where Scarlett's last line, After all, tomorrow is another day, is rendered with it [31]. The novel's Japanese translation, in its 1940 printing, gave her the sun; the wind is in the film press's printing of her line in 1952, the year the film reached Japan, more than a century and a half after the novel of 1784; so the line borrowed the proverb, not the reverse.

Today. Sold as Tomorrow Is Another Day. The house title is the English proverb that Scarlett's last line quotes; We Japanese set it beside this proverb in 1934, and the ことわざを知る辞典 and the 英語ことわざ教訓辞典 give it. Word for word the proverb says tomorrow, tomorrow's wind will blow, and the title keeps the equation and lets the wind go. What a rendering must keep is the wind, because the wives' answers depend on it.

Notes

In the 1935 entry the National Diet Library's index reads the equation Tomorrow is … new day, with one character between is and new that it could not read; the 1940 appendix that quotes the book prints Tomorrow is a new day, and that is how it is read here [9][30]. 言泉's 1921 entry prints あるければ for あるべければ [3].
