世界之旅:友惠旅館的窗戶,萩,日本,1984

【英文原文】

Tomoe Inn Window, Hagi, Japan, 1984
"Seeing with eyes of the heart—known as mono no aware in Japanese—describes the way to understand this visual poem of a tree, framed by a window, against a backdrop of roof tiles at Hagi's Tomoe Inn. Set to haiku, a traditional Japanese poetry form, the scene reads:

"A courtyard window
This tree stands, remembering
The old Tomoe."

【中文翻譯】

用心靈的眼睛感受——即日語裏的“物哀”（mono no aware）——描述了怎樣解讀一棵樹的視覺詩。在萩的友惠旅館裏，這棵樹以窗爲框，以屋頂瓦片爲背景。俳句是日本一種傳統的詩歌形式，用它來解讀這幅景色：
“一個庭院的窗戶，這棵樹站立着，回憶，古老的友惠。”
