A sense of self ~ a journey of self-awareness explosion through "foundational experience" in everyday life

生きていくのに最も必要なのは、確固たる自己意識だと思う。「だれが何と言おうとこれが好きだ」と言えるくらいの心の張りがあれば、おのずと道は開かれる。
「自分の考え方や生き方に大きな影響を与える体験」、すなわち「自己を知る体験」のことを、「原体験」という。一般的には、幼少期の頃に経験するものであると定義される。しかし、幼少期ではなくても、日常のなかで原体験的体験をすることは誰にでも必要なのではないか。
街中で、今までの自分と違う自分を知り、育み、自分と対話できるようなオープンスペースをつくる。それが、ランドスケープを専攻する学生の私が、地元高崎に還元できる方法なのではないか。

" I believe that the most essential thing for life is a firm sense of self. If you have a firmness of mind that allows you to say, “I love this, no matter what anyone says,” then the path will naturally open for you.

 An experience that greatly influences one's way of thinking and living, or in other words, an experience of knowing oneself, is called an “foundational experience.”
Generally, it is defined as an experience that one has in one's childhood. However, even if not in childhood, it is necessary for everyone to have foundational experiences in their daily lives.

 In the city, create an open space where people can know and nurture themselves differently from the way they used to be and have a dialogue with themselves. As a student majoring in landscape design, this is a way for me to give back to my hometown, Takasaki."
