Saury Issue 44 Fukuoka-Busan One-person (Single) Travel

We find similar street scenes in different cities. heart is transparent Opposite my heart I can see the sea Not dark or dazzling language! please don't separate Me and the sea ——〈Travel 4 alicante〉 Japanese poet Shuntaro Tanikawa Recently, when my Japanese friends talked about Korea, their eyes changed. Some people fall in love with idols, some are obsessed with Korean food, and some start listening to Korean bands. There is no need to go into details about the K-POP trend in the world, but it is definitely a major breakthrough for the Japanese cultural magazine "Saury". "Why introduce Korea?" It is not because of its popularity, but a solid view of the relationship between Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. , subtle flow. In 2018, I interviewed Zhang Weizhong, a writer living in Japan, in Tokyo. The visit was to Japan, but after I shut down the recording, I talked about South Korea. "Have you watched Korean dramas?" I said with a wry smile, only watching Japanese dramas and not Korean dramas. "As a cultural observer, you should watch it, not because everyone is crazy about it, but to understand the cultural trends and what content is written into the scripts that have common resonance." This sentence breaks down. My imagination of Korea, "It turns out that this is how Japan sees Korea." So the question of connecting Japan and Korea was hidden in my heart. After waiting for 6 years, we finally walked from Fukuoka to Busan. For "Saury", this is another trip to other cities in Asia after "Hong Kong Flavor of Japan". The post-epidemic travel pattern has made "traveling alone" no longer emphasize "growth" and "grand travel". Traveling allows you to simply rest, be alone, and have a good conversation with yourself; you don’t have to go to the local area to make friends, and you don’t have to force yourself to meet expectations. If the store is not open, just go shopping next door. This is a satisfying solo trip that is suitable for taking an 8-hour boat ride between Japan and South Korea and taking your time in everything: a "real trip" that is satisfying, has no special gains and does not feel regretful. In response to the annual issue, the editorial team not only visited the two places, but also invited Taiwanese and Japanese writers to observe the current situation of living alone, eating alone, and Japan's keenness to travel to Korea from a Japanese perspective through "Solo Travel". As Takasaki Takuma, the screenwriter of "My Perfect Daily" said in this exclusive interview, the personalities of each country tend to be similar due to the social era. A world with increased similarities will be reshuffled, and people will begin to look for originality in their own personalities. Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea are becoming the "Asian Team", sharing some similar and different cultural experiences. Perhaps this is a journey of empathy that is written into the script and can be communicated without using words.
