Cover of 金澤不思議
by 村松友視
Language: Chinese
Release Date: March 8, 2018

「除了金澤之外,還真沒有其他城市會讓我如此頻繁造訪。」 一介金澤狂熱旅行者的視角,30多年深度觀察與追尋, 從歷史人文、職人精神、古都文學、加賀料理與日常片刻各種角度, 帶你見識從未感受過的金澤美學與內涵。 金澤,小巧秀麗的北陸明珠,她保留從江戶時代流傳的加賀百萬石餘韻與武家文化,孕育出既溫厚風雅、卻又頑固無畏的性格。作者村松友視藉由長期旅行其中的深度觀察,從悠久歷史、傳統工藝、加賀料理、街巷光景到溫暖人情等多方視角,真實呈現金澤不思議面貌。 初代藩主前田利家開創加賀百萬石榮光的歷史傳奇;三文豪秋聲、鏡花、犀星與金澤這片土地的關聯;藝妓藏身在紙糊窗門後所吹奏的「闇笛」;金澤人自豪且琅琅上口的能樂文化;豐臣秀吉時代流傳至今的加賀料理「治部煮」;甚至是讓新價值觀在此地紮根的金澤二十一世紀美術館誕生......作者透過細膩的文筆與入微的觀察,將金澤保有傳統情懷又喜歡創新變革的精神,如實地傳達出來。 除此之外,在「和」文化逐漸式微的這個世代氛圍中,金澤迄今仍有一群老藝匠堅守著傳統工藝與文化堡壘,像是製作加賀竿與毛針的「目細八郎兵衛商店」、製作金澤和傘的「松田和傘店」、燒製大樋燒的「第十代大樋長左衛門」……這些金澤人的自傲與執著,伴隨著百年如一日的傳統景致與歷史氛圍,存續至今。 金澤工藝之美 金澤和傘的特徵是在傘面使用了手抄的楮皮紙,傘面上的楮皮紙會刷上紫蘇油與桐油,因此開闔時會飄出一股油香,頗富金澤情趣。從日本的日常生活中消失的和傘,仍經常能在金澤街上目睹。 金澤三文豪 金澤三文豪——德田秋聲、泉鏡花、室生犀星,在同一個城市中,竟然密集出現三位在日本文學全集必然會登場的文人,能說不是一件令人驚訝的事嗎?況且,他們活躍的時期還大致重疊,這又更讓人驚訝了。 金澤人的廚房 近江町市場除了是旅人們悠閒散步、物色紀念品的場所之外,更是金澤人的「廚房」,在市場裡看到金澤人彼此打招呼,笑談「你也來了啊……」是常見的光景。此外,身著和服的太太們一面想著丈夫的下酒菜或是當季食材有哪些、一面在市場中漫步穿梭的身影,也是近江町市場非常有韻味的風景。 金澤人這種形象 他們既有都市色彩也具備地方特色的氣質,保有古典情懷仍喜愛變革,金澤人這種形象實在無法輕易地用三言兩語來形容,或許,並非是金澤人這一形象難以歸納出個具體的樣子,而是無法被歸納分類才是金澤人的特色吧! 【風雅推薦】 旅遊部落客...
Cover of 京都旅遊趣:庭園 佛寺 神社 河川 歷史 發掘京都旅遊的樂趣
by 林明德
Language: Chinese
Release Date: July 6, 2018

本書簡介 「京都旅遊趣」是京都系列的第三本書。內容還是圍繞在京都旅遊的樂趣。 「聽故事」和「認識景物」是發現旅遊樂趣的二塊敲門磚。我的第一本書「京都歷史事件簿」是一本講故事的書,以七個故事連貫京都歷史,讓讀者在旅遊京都時,能連結歷史及景點,而有完全有不同的體驗。第二本書「悠遊京都」是講認識景物,講組成佛寺、神社、庭園、河川等景物的元素。認識景物,能叫得出景物的名字,知道它的作用,面對這景物才能注意到它的存在,不會視而不見。 第一本寫故事,第二本偏重認識景物,本書則是寫親自造訪的樂趣。以前二本書為基礎,描述在作者京都旅遊時體驗到的各種樂趣。例如在西芳寺寫經的過程,讓我體會到遊園之前的繁複過程,竟與茶道有異曲同功之妙。在明智光秀首塚前,發現爭論四百年來謎團答案,原來竟埋在這小小的地方。因為對京都依依不捨,京都車站竟成了我的離別月台。因為對琵琶湖疏水有興趣而如追蹤其流向。 這些事可能會與讀者想像相同,也有可能南轅北轍。無論如何,希望讀者看了本書後,會有動身一探的興趣,並有自己的體驗。這樣京都旅遊就更加豐富而有樂趣了。這是這本書的目的。 本書約六十篇文章,略分為庭園、佛寺、神社、河川及歷史等五類。每篇文章除了正文外,有景點的地址及經緯度供找尋精確位置;有「觀察點」提醒到這個景點時值得欣賞不要錯過的地方;有「順道一遊」介紹附近可以一遊的景點;最後是地圖,供實際旅行之用。 標有「自由行」的文章是我的旅遊行程心得,供初次到此景點的朋友們參考。例如,「自由行-鴨川」是我認為遊鴨川最佳路徑及沿鴨川值得觀賞景點。「自由行-嵐山」也指出了遊嵐山不能錯過的景點及路徑。 希望讀者能經由這三本有關京都的書得到旅遊最大的樂趣。 內容 序...
