Setiap perjalanan pendek ke Jepang telah menjadi 'kursus-kursus' singkat yang semakin lama semakin dalam. Ini bukan sekolah formal untuk ambil S2, tetapi sekolah non formal untuk mengalami kebudayaan negara tetangga, dimana hal-hal yang baik dapat dijadikan teladan yang bisa diterapkan bagi bangsa ini. Melawat ke Jepang adalah kayu api pembakar semangat membangun negeri.

Andra Matin,

Haikk!

(Note that I can't read Bahasa. Hah!)

I first held this in my hands in a bookstore in Jakarta and I immediately fell in love despite not understanding most of the writing, although I knew it was (partly) by Andra Matin, an Indonesian architect whose work I've long admired from afar. By the book's form and the images, through a quick flip-through, I knew of it to be a shared journal of a number of architects in a group trip in Japan back in 2007. A truly inspiring piece of print for me. I always flip though this when I need a creativity boost of sorts. :) Love the tearable photocards, too.

Should try one of these days to read through the essays with the help of Google Translate, although a handful are actually in English.

Haikk!
