Hello!
My name is Robert Pajura and I'm a 3rd year student of geography of University of Gdansk (Poland). Presently I'm writing a thesis about diversity of Japan's cultural landscape. The main goal of this thesis is identification of the most characteristic and significant objects, icons and signs, placed in the geographical envoirment, which makes japanese culture so unique. Also I'd like to analize its form, function and meaning. Simultanously this thesis will consist an analysis how the traditional culture cooperates with the modern culture. I think that the experiences, thoughts and impressions of people, who have visited this country or are very keen into japanese culture, would be essential for my task. Hence, I have a request - I would be very grateful if you could answer couple of problems listed below. This list contains objects that I'd like to study. Every thought about the form, function or meaning of these sites or buildings would be very helpful. Also, if you have any other materials about this subject, I'd be very grateful if I could gain acces to them. This is the list: Mt. Fuji-san, japanese gardens, Kyoto (as a cultural capital of Japan), Shirakawa-go village, samurai's castles, traditional sacred landscape (temples, torii gates), contemporary architecture (e.g. in Tokyo, Osaka, Mito...), Shinkansen (as one of the fastest train in the world) and Hiroshima (as a symbol of war's cruelty).
Thank you for any kind of support! Please contact me via e-mail: elfshadow@o2.pl
Best regards!!
