２月１２日
遅いご挨拶ですが、明けましておめでとうございます。旧暦の年明けでありますが、同時に年度末でもあります。北京では花火と爆竹が凄いことになっておりますが、東京でもなにかと忙しい日々です。PM2.5の問題はこれから日本にも本格的に影響が出るとか。花粉症と相俟ってマスクがマストです。掲載写真はアインドホーヘンの広場に設置された街灯です。小さなスタンドならばこの構造は理解出来ますが、こんなに大きなものが照明として動くというのは日本にありますでしょうか。オランダは東京の勝鬨橋のような跳ね橋や回転橋などがありこのように稼働して機能するものにたいして特に違和感はないのだと思います。光の演出など考えますと、とても素晴らしいアイディアだと思いました。今年も宜しくお願い致します。
February 12/ Is slow season greetings? I would like to say, “A Happy New Year” at the new year of the traditional lunar calendar. Actually it is an end of the fiscal year at the same time also. Fireworks and firecrackers were so heard in Beijing, but we have busy daily time as usual without nightmare in Tokyo. Influence is given to Japan in earnest from now on, and the problem of PM2.5 is combined with hay fever, therefore we want to say that a mask is a mast? A photograph mentioned above is a streetlight installed at the open space in the central of Eindhoven. If it is the small stands, I can understand this structure, however I can’t image so big thing moves as public lighting in Japan. In Netherland, I think that there is not the sense of incongruity particularly for the moving thing like the bascule bridge or a rotary bridge such as Kachidoki bridge of Tokyo. So that such like big devices operate in this way, as functions. I thought that it was a very splendid idea about direction of the light. Please favor this page this year as well as last year.
