This is the candidature file that Tokyo took to the IOC. They wrapped it in furoshiki? Ha ha ha. When the Japanese movie "Departures" came out, I read that some foreign
press said that “Departures” is a movie about "the beauty of form." I
understand what he said, and in Japanese, we have the word
"Shitsurai" (form). Shitsurai means fitting out and preparing,
setting up, but it's not just regular setting up. "Shitsurai" includes
the feeling of "beauty of form." Usually we use the word when we have
seasonal events like New Years Day, Hinamatsuri, etc. This site shows examples of shitsurai with beautiful
photos. This is New
Year, this is Hinamatsuri,
and this is Boy's
Day. Maybe it looks like just displays, but shitsurai is not just about displaying,
it's an applicative kind of set up... hmm it's difficult to explain. Anyways, I
wanted to say that if you watch “Departures,” you can see the shitsurai for
departures to the afterworld.
Tokyo Metro has released this month’s manner poster. Hmm… I like it, but their copy
"please do it at home" doesn’t suit that scenario. It
was okay before though. Tokyo Metro and Japanese
tobacco manner posters are always interesting. My favorite JT one is this and my favorite TM one is this. I know that in North America,
you’d be arrested by police if you drank in public like that. In Japan, it's not
an issue of the law, but rather one of manners. Actually, sometimes I can’t remember
how I got home because I was too drunk.
