日本京都文藝及文化交流團

日本深度文藝探索之旅

2015年6月29日-7月4日
交流團領隊老師: 陳曉芳女士、鄭瑞琴博士

「傳理學部」和「人文及語言學部」老師帶領24位副學士同學到日本京都及滋賀縣琵琶湖畔西區一帶考察，深入了解日本傳統文化及其與藝術創作之關係。行程包括欣賞京都車站的現代化建築、考察針江區生態水利系統與日常生活關係、入住畑區的棚田農家民宿，體驗農家竹藝與農民生活、拜訪當地時裝設計師山本玄匠先生，並作小組面談交流、向大學老師作考察報告及俳句影像創作交流、欣賞無鄰庵的庭園設計與文化思想的關係、學習日本傳統茶道及其文化意義等。同學對行程感受異常深刻，透過生活體驗、文化交流和文字影像創作，體會農家生活的純樸與溫情，更深入瞭解到日本文化與日常生活、哲學思考及藝術創作之關係。同學大讚獲益良多之餘，還繼續與當地民宿農家作書信聯絡，希望將來自行來探訪他們呢！

入住農家民宿　體驗風土人情

劉泳彤（專業中文，二年級）

日本的景色美得動人。作為一個香港人，你意想不到保育自然竟可成為城市發展一部份。在這裡的花草樹木因著人們的愛惜，生得青春宜人，天然裝飾著京都這地方，讓遊經的人都讚歎其美。

除了風土當然還有人情，此次難得可與當地農家一同生活，他們的熱情款待令作客的我非常窩心。在不依賴電子科技的日子，他們在告別時說，雖然沒有我們的照片，卻已把我們的臉都記在腦裡去。這是當今別樣的情話吧。

面對這樣的景致與人，確是令我依戀不捨……

Enjoy the simplicity of life

LAW Ching Lam, Janice （Cultural Studies, Year 2）

I had experienced a lot in this six-day tour, such as catching the running somen noodle, visiting the water system in Harie, Seian University of Art and Design… Words are not enough to express my whole feeling.

After this trip, I understand how Japanese respect their traditions, culture and also nature in different aspects. In rural areas, they still keep the traditional sustainable farming method and lifestyle. They believe in the natural water from Lake Biwa, rather than the tap water, it shows their respect and pride in their nature. In today’s tea ceremony, they still keep all those complicated steps to make a traditional delicious cup of tea. Primary school students still learn how to play Karuta, a Japanese card game from the Edo period. Simple lifestyle show their conscientiousness towards their traditions. Japanese respects their traditions and nature; however, Hong Kong people will focus on economic development and sacrifice precious natural resources.

Finally, I have learned one simple, but important philosophy – “to be my primitive self”, which means using the most pure heart to feel everything.
