In bringing together researchers of very different nationalities and backgrounds and mobilizing various sectors of UNESCO to address the same issue, this meeting is in itself a real achievement. Allow me, therefore, first of all to give my heartfelt thanks to the many French, Japanese and other partners who have agreed to take part in this collective debate or to offer it their invaluable support. I would also like to take this opportunity to give special thanks to the Japan Foundation for its generous financial support, and to Mr Eiji Hattori for coordinating all the work with skill and efficiency. I sincerely welcome this meeting, because it brings into perspective the interplay between three dimensions that we cannot dissociate: cultural diversity, the transversal and shared nature of the values that underlie cultures and civilizations, and, lastly, the forces at work in the complex and varying interactions between cultural practices and world views. As you know, the General Conference of UNESCO less than a month ago adopted a convention on the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions. Through that instrument, the Member States wished to express their concern about the dangers of cultural impoverishment and uniformization in the context of intensified globalization, and their commitment to combating that phenomenon through greater support for the very principles of diversity, by providing States with the means to formulate cultural policies in a climate of dialogue that is respectful of human rights. However, the protection of cultural diversity cannot be effective unless dialogue between cultures, and particularly between their religious and 1 spiritual expressions, is strengthened in order to ward off the threats that loom when ignorance and rejection of the Other supplant tolerance, understanding and openness. Thus, by seeking to bring the two cultural entities of the Far East and the West together in dialogue, and in focusing on the relationship between cultural transfer and modernity, this symposium ties in perfectly with one of UNESCO’s ongoing concerns which, as the Constitution states, is to develop and to increase the means of communication between peoples for the purposes of mutual understanding and a truer and more perfect knowledge of each other’s lives. This call for dialogue and for the opening of borders and disciplines has been at the heart of the Organization’s major international projects: I am thinking in particular of the well-known East–West Major Project of the 1950s and 1960s, which led to the creation of institutions in various countries and to translation on an unprecedented scale, or the Silk Roads: Roads of Dialogue project, which since the 1980s has contributed to the strengthening of cultural cooperation between numerous countries and to the creation of many other interregional dialogue projects based on the ‘roads’ principle. Since that time, our efforts to strengthen the dialogue between the peoples of the East and West have not ceased. Thus, UNESCO has strongly encouraged the establishment of dialogue at the interregional level, particularly between thinkers and philosophers from different regions of the world, on the model of the philosophical dialogue between Asia and the Arab world launched in November 2004 and the philosophical dialogue between Africa and Latin America, which is to be launched at the end of this month. The aim of meetings like this one is of course to foster such dialogue. The comparative approach that you plan to adopt at your various working sessions on the dynamics of cultural transfer, the sharing and plurality of values and the mechanisms for genuine intercultural dialogue will open up valuable horizons and will undoubtedly pave the way for greater dialogue. I am therefore convinced that this symposium will enable us to gain a better understanding of the processes of modernization, to examine the concept of cultural diversity in greater depth, to formulate recommendations of use in promoting broader interregional dialogue and to develop a methodology that might

    WHERE TO STAY INSIDER REPORTS ON THE BEST PLACES TO BED DOWN. EDITED BY ISSY VON SIMSON THE ROUND-UP: JAPAN SMART SAMURAI MANSIONS AND ZEN TEAHOUSES RECONFIGURE THE CLASSIC RYOKAN EXPERIENCE HOTEL LOG IN ONOMICHI December 2020 Condé Nast Traveller 43 12-20WTSMain-ReviewJapan-round-up_3504188.indd 43 09/10/2020 20:34 HOTEL LOG, ONOMICHI The outside of this place, whose name is an acronym for Lantern Onomichi Garden, may not grab anyone’s attention. Set in the Shinmichi complex, built in 1963 on the slopes of Mount Senkoji overlooking the Seto Sea, the white-and-peach apartment building looks unremarkable. But inside it has been transformed into an arty six-room hotel via the wild but disciplined design of architect Bijoy Jain from Studio Mumbai. For his first project outside India, Jain covered every inch of the bedroom walls, floors and ceilings with gleaming-white washi paper; the cocoon effect is deepened by a scarcity of furnishings. Staying in one of these large spartan spaces is rather like sleeping in an art installation. But comfort is key: futons are incredibly soft, and bath tubs can be found in the larger rooms. There is a feeling of being gently swaddled in a delicate paper lantern, but open a window and golden light pours in: the structure is high up, overlooking the pines, palms and roofs of this free-spirited temple town often called Japan’s Portland. Head to the lacquered bar for a glass of local Chardonnay or a cocktail while Eighties pop plays on the turntable. The restaurant is heavy on vegetables, so menus tilt towards salads with greens and micro- herbs, and ceramic bowls are filled withmikan and hassaku citrus fruits that are anything but ordinary.

  • Beyond Japanese Minimalistic Versatility Abstract
    Beyond Japanese minimalistic versatility Abstract Due to advances in industrial development, we are now living in an extremely consumeristic world. Every day, large volumes of products are purchased while others are thrown away. At the same time, consumers expect products to add value to their lives beyond mere aesthetics and basic functionality. In particular, the market for mass-produced furniture has grown oversaturated in recent decades. Thus, it is very difficult for designers to make a product that is sufficiently different from what already exists. However, regardless of this state of excess, superficial novelty designs are cast into the limelight every year in Milan and throughout the world. Whenever I visit design fairs I have to question whether people truly need new chairs that appear only nominally different from what already exists. Are these products really improving the quality of our lives and do we still need new chair designs? This Master’s thesis approaches this question by studying the context rather than only looking at the problem from an aesthetic angle, applying the minimalistic thinking of Japanese product design. The methodology investigates the shared values in Japanese and Finnish culture in order to create a new seating product that is both relevant and meaningful in the context of contemporary furniture design. The thesis first delves into the changing lifestyle in Japan over time and how this affected the development of modern furniture. In many cases, the Japanese brand of minimalistic design thinking is an effective method of finding solutions, because simplification is one way to improve user experience. This thesis aims to discover ways that neutrality in design can be utilised to create new value within product design in general and chair typologies in particular.

    Intercultural Understanding, 2019, volume 9, pages 15-19 Comparison of the “Oki-gotatsu” in the Traditional Japanese House and the “Kürsü” in the Traditional Harput House ølknur Yüksel Schwamborn1 1 Architect, østanbul, Turkey Corresponding author: ølknur Yüksel Schwamborn, Architect, østanbul, Turkey, E-mail: [email protected] Keywords: Japan, kotatsu, oki-gotatsu, Turkey, Anatolia, Harput, kürsü, table, heater Abstract: The use of the wooden low table “kotatsu” in the center of the traditional Japanese house in the seventeenth century (Edo (Tokugava) period), the oki-gotatsu, is similar to the use of the wooden low table in the traditional Harput house, the “kürsü”. The “kotatsu” and the “kürsü” used in winter in both places with similar climate characteristics are the table usage, which is collected around the place and where the warm-up needs are met. The origins of these similar uses in the traditional Japanese house and the traditional Harput house, located in different and distant geographies, can be traced back to Central Asia. In this study, the shape and use characteristics of “oki-gotatsu”, a form of traditional Japanese house in the past, and the shape and use characteristics of the “kürsü” in the traditional Harput house are compared. 1.

The modified Hepburn system has been used to romanise the Japanese language. Macrons have been used to indicate long vowels; for example, ū for an extended ‘uu’.
