紐約忙碌的生活形態讓我成為一名不折不扣、迅速切實的旅行者。無論是商務或是休閒旅行，我的行囊配備即少又單純。我可以在既定的時間內以迅雷不及掩耳的速度呼嘯抵達美國，瑞士，或者是芬蘭的機場。 一些好奇的朋友們問我如何準備得體的輕裝行囊。在此野人現曝，把個人的旅行傢私簡列如下： １． 美...

上個禮拜當我獨自信步走在瑞士的鄉間小路上，茵茵、油油、蔥蔥的綠地讓我體驗到大自然是如何的鐘愛這個多山的國家。 放眼所及，盡是青翠碧綠。青蕨，綠樹，長春籐，濃裝艷抹、相應爭「綠」。春光溫柔盈盈，我卻吃力的對著滿山綠地一一點名，深怕褻瀆了瑞士自然的創意美學，我誠惶誠恐地想著自己到底能...

我對浪漫主義至信不渝。身為一名無可救藥的浪漫主義者無關好與壞﹣我平日雖然腳踏著實地，但難免有時走神地飄往太虛仙境。 無可救藥的浪漫主義者其實就是不折不扣的理想主義者及多愁善感的逐夢者。我喜歡在自己擬模的真實世界中堆築希望。對我來說，對這個世界絕望的人就是注定要孤寂一生。 秉持浪漫...

明月一輪。 冷冽的風颳向細細長長的櫸樹，葉片颯颯作響。我凝視著對面灑滿北國月光的鄰家屋頂，靜靜在想，寂寞，到底是什麼氣味？ 不能在這麼晚的時間叨擾調香師友人Christophe Laudamiel。對於氣味有著熊熊熱情的他，鐵定會從床上跳下來，拿下筆紙準備與我挑燈夜談。於是我替自...

雖然還沒看到我的新書「瓶裝記憶：京都之水」的最後成品（正由臺灣飛往芬蘭的路途中），但是摯愛的臺灣讀者, 我卻樂於暇想在翻書聲伴讀下的你，眼睛是如何好奇地隨它的文字遊移；鼻子又是如何小心翼翼地嗅聞它的京都氣味；當你的手指任意隨性地觸摸它的紋路時，臉部顯現出或驚喜，或感歎，或搐眉，或...

I am a designer, who photographs a bit. I like to stroll down on the side-streets of everyday searching for the awareness of real life. I ta...

I love fashion design but I am not a fashionista. I am not here to talk about the season's must-have "green" fashion product o...

"How Are You?" vs. "Where Are You?" Since I have been known as a nomad in my circle of friends, I have noticed that most...

Somewhere along a highway in Colorado, I found this car graveyard, where it became a playground for me that day.

Old and new, big and small, alive and dead. The contrast between these two cars made a striking composition.

The car graveyard smelled of both death and peace.

THE MEMORY OF THE CROWD ON SANJO-DORI In the hot Kyoto afternoon, the old puppeteer with his puppet and the audience reflected so much of th...

THE MEMORY OF THE KIMONO Nothing was moving but the scent of kimono and the shutter of my Canon. 和服的記憶 闐靜無聲 除了 和服餘韻 以及 快門的咔嚓聲響。

町屋的記憶 古老的寺廟與遠近馳名的庭園 也許能為古都的純淨靈魂定下註解， 但木造町屋那經歲月渲染過的幽暗門面， 才是古都的精髓所在。 THE MEMORY OF MACHIYA The ancient temples and famous garden may define ...

芬芳的記憶 我喜歡他從花園摘了朵嫣紅山茶花給我的時候；喜歡他用老式唱機播放台語或日本歌謠的時候；喜歡他騎腳踏車帶我出去閒晃兜風的時候；喜歡他用芒果核為我做發條玩具的時候。看完醫生以後，我喜歡他買熱烘烘剛剛出爐的葡萄乾麵包給我，讓我不再嚎啕大哭。我喜歡坐在他的大腿上，聽著他與朋友的...

The people of Kyoto are well known for their ambiguous behavior and way of speaking. They believe that some things are better left unsaid. ...
