中国的朋友们 中国现正处于极其艰难的状况之中，謹此献上由衷的问候之意。我们将心比心與各位共体时艰，且让我们一起用积极的心态，持续温暖守护一定会迎来的光明未来！ 在此非常时期写下如此带有宣传意味的文字实在是惶恐至极。数日前我的专刊通过「知日」出版了。艺术活动表现痛苦与开放的反差，这里记录了制作过程中，我创作时的辛苦与黑暗面，无法确知各位是否乐于阅读，但这是编辑部每一个人长期努力的结晶。 还请各位多多关照。 中国境外的朋友，请容我介绍「知日」。这是一本专门向中国介绍日本文化的中文杂志，主题每期不同，曾经做过电影导演是枝裕和或京都等专题的介绍，这一期则是以我为主的特辑。 Dear Friends in China, I would like to express my sincerest concern and send my best wishes to everyone during this trying time in China. I sympathize with you and wish to continue warming our hearts with positivity for our bright future! I hesitate under the circumstance to share this rather self-promotional post, but a few days ago, the magazine Zhi Japan has published a feature issue on me. Art is an endeavor of creative expression that entails and embodies the contrasting aspects of hardship and liberation. The issue touches on the dark side of my practice, documenting the painful process of my creation. I don’t know if it’s necessarily an enjoyable read, but the magazine’s editorial team spent a long time on this project and the resulting issue shows their earnest efforts. I hope you’ll take a look. By the way, for those of you outside of mainland China, Zhi Japan is a monthly magazine in Chinese language that specializes in Japanese culture, introducing its different aspects to the Chinese audience through a different, focused theme in each issue. In the past they have done special features on film director Hirokazu Koreeda and on Kyoto, among others. This time, I happen to be the feature.
