世界之旅:友惠旅馆的窗户,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."

【中文翻译】

用心灵的眼睛感受——即日语里的“物哀”（mono no aware）——描述了怎样解读一棵树的视觉诗。在萩的友惠旅馆里，这棵树以窗为框，以屋顶瓦片为背景。俳句是日本一种传统的诗歌形式，用它来解读这幅景色：
“一个庭院的窗户，这棵树站立着，回忆，古老的友惠。”
