数物
入試監督しながら45年前を思い出す。数物化学英語が二次試験科目だった。一校しか受けなかったからその晩、弾けるように飲みに行き、その日から脳みその構造は理系から文系になった。以来数物の必要性も興味も1ミリもないのだが設計していて困らない。理系のセンス無くして設計はできないがそれは受験勉強レベルで十分なのかもしれない。
While supervising entrance exams, I remember 45 years ago. I took the Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry English exam. I only took exam to one school, so that night I went out drinking, and from that day on my brain structure changed from technology to liberal arts. Since then, I haven’t had the slightest need for or interest in numerical objects, but I had no problem designing architecture. You can’t design without a sense of technology but maybe that’s enough if you have done entrance exam study?
書く
大河ドラマの主人公紫式部は物書きだから字を書くシーンが多い。書家の配偶者は手の動きで書家かそうじゃないか分かるそうだ。かなは日本の最高の発明と松岡正剛が言っていたが、平安時代は建築も和様が確立した。遣唐使を止め日本が日本らしくなる大事な安定した時代だったのだろう。
Murasaki Shikibu, the main character of the taiga drama, is a writer, so there are many scenes where she writes. The spouse of a calligrapher can tell whether someone is a calligrapher or not by the movements of their hands. Seigo Matsuoka said that kana was Japan’s greatest invention. Japanese style of architecture was established during the Heian period. It must have been an important period of stability when the envoys to Tang China were stopped and Japan became more like Japan.
