Design comes from life, a good designer should be a person who understands life, will enjoy life, and integrate the colorful colors of life into the works. As a female designer, I like to pay attention to all aspects of life and nourish design with the nutrients of life, so I like to travel, to measure the world in a way of discovery, to discover aesthetic factors to make it warm my blood, to become the expression of my design language. In recent years, I have gone to More European countries, from the initial shock to the later discovery of the increasingly powerful influence of Oriental culture on the international stage, let us as Orientals begin to examine ourselves, this time through the Oriental Art Study Camp, I hope to get close to Japan to explore their aesthetic life, from books, music, paintings, tea ceremony, flower arrangement and other aspects.

How do these seemingly useless beauties quietly settle down in the heart and form a way of life throughout the course of life? These details are reflected in all aspects of life, from graphic design to packaging design, to space design, and finally related to us, it feels like this philosophical view is like Feng Zikai's "Useless Beauty" said, "Chanting useless poems, drunk useless wine, reading useless books, zhong useless feelings, and finally becoming useless people, but thus living with taste." "The taste of this is the aesthetic height of the Song people's life."
So I want to understand the Chinese Tang and Song Dynasties to come to Japan, because they completely copied the Chinese architecture at that time, especially Kyoto, when we walk in those low and staggered courtyards and alleys, there is a very childhood memory of the feeling, there is no high-level buildings and endless streets, we see the entrance doors and fences of each household and the small eaves and the carefully arranged courtyard, private, exquisite, safe, let me think about the aesthetics, philosophy, world view, values of those literati at that time, piano, chess, calligraphy, poetry, wine and tea From this origin, many things can be done to build a complete spiritual world through the material level - space, furniture, and display, and the natural flow of this spiritual world is complete, complete in expression, yearning for people, and loved by people.
On this tour, we marvel at the beauty of wooden structures in the thousand-year-old buildings, stroll through the deserted paths, learn about Kyoto's ordinary houses, and experience the authentic culture together. When we go to the Sayamaike Museum, Ando's three natural elements: sky, water, and light all give us a good sense of experience in it, standing between two concrete walls, everything in the world is isolated, and when entering the circular patio space, he deliberately creates a sense of ceremony that allows us to stand in the middle of the dots and speak to ourselves, to the sky, to the earth, or to the god in your heart. Some wonderful things happened here with the three friends in the same group, and we sang, from the first laughter and singing to the whispered chanting later to the silent tears later. The creation of a sense of ritual in the cement box space presented by Tadao Ando to visitors sublimates the story of everyone standing here, re-examines themselves, this is the meaning of travel, and at that moment we awaken the perception of the body!
Kyoto is a suitable place for stories to take place, so we attended in our innocent costumes to find something long-lost, and in the movie "Kyoto Taiqin Story", there is a scene where the heroine meets an exchange scholar who studies oracle bones in the library of the school where she works. The scholar who fell in love with the heroine at first sight wrote the oracle glyph of the word "love" on the bookshelf of the library. It turns out that "ancient people understood love in this way, and a person who went forward was bound by something behind him, so he couldn't help but look back, and this posture was love." "In my designs I have never given up on the expression of the theme of vitality, positive, joyful, warm... These energies can make us happy, and happiness may be what we pursue all our lives, so if you feel the taste of happiness at a certain moment, then as a designer, the happiness you want to convey can be transmitted through space, and in my opinion, Japan's human understanding of lifestyle may be the presentation of happiness.
Kyoto is a touch of red in my heart, it is like a long-lost lover familiar but strange to impress you! In this world, there are some metaphors that inherit the East and breathe nature that make you go to the tao to feel the Zen in the design. The quiet and elegant existence, the pitiful sight of ChuChu, even the utensils seem to need companionship! Listening to the teacher at Daitoku-ji Temple can be understood to some extent as allowing us to find our own value and existence, and in such a space, it is a state of concentration to leave a lamp for you or make a cup of tea or quietly listen to you.
