46. translation: matsumoto jun fc pamphlet #45 special
Time to spam yo flist with more Jun stanning! Another request from tumblr that's been sitting around on my work computer waiting to be finished. And since I have fuckall to do today, I finally got it done! So here's part 1 of Matsujun's "random curiosity" (with part 2 previously posted nyah). Oh, bb, you're so cute when you're full of wanderlust ♥ Let's get married and fulfill our mutual randomass curiosity by running off to random places together at a moment's notice.
Matsumoto Jun’s Random Curiosity
vol. 1: modern tea ceremony arbour and house
“When we thought of giving you fans an ‘even closer’ feeling, we thought something pretty normal would be good. That’s why, without really planning on it, this time we decided that changing the theme would be good, right?”
and so that having been said, in Matsujun’s original project in this bulletin, “the current Matsumoto Jun,” about what is he thinking, and in what is he interested? You’ll get to find out and feel much “closer” to him.
“Anyway, I’m like, ‘the current me wants to learn something!’ So right now, what I wanna see and what I’m curious about, I wanna go learn how to do stuff, like I’m ‘the hottest Matsujun’ (laughs). Like, I wanna get a dog, and go watch a dog show, go for a drive... there’s a lot of stuff I’m thinking about. So right now, I’m gonna finally go to Kyoto (laughs).”
So, here we are in Kyoto. Since this is the first bulletin of the year, he said he was “hella curious” and so off we went to call upon a modern tea arbour1 in a practical manner.
“This bulletin’s cover story will be at Kasui2. A) I was captivated by the photos of it I’ve seen. It was designed by Yoshida Isoya. I was all “whaaaat!” I adore the Western-style rooms it has. It’s super neat, and so wanting to go see it was my impetus to get up and go. I’d love to live in a house like that... like, it became a dream of mine”
Along with Yoshida Isoya, a ton of modern Japanese architects had a hand in it -- it built by hand my Murano Tougo, and later annexed by the Westin Kyoto Hotel. The sheet copper roof has an easy slant to it, which up until then had never been seen in Japanese-style architecture. When you go into the front lobby, there’s a straight line of graceful, dainty interwoven fabric which matches the rest of the house, giving off a peaceful, comfortable, and very modern type of feel. With his cell phone camera in one hand, Matsumoto Jun went through all the photo-ops saying, “daaang! I’ve never seen anything like this” and had him in a complete state of shock. “In the end, all I can say is ‘the hell is this?!3’ What I’m interested in, it’s neither a tea arbour nor old-style buildings. It’s multiple styles ‘mingling,’ so to speak. More recent things and fusion tea houses that have been built, so they’re really interesting and have captivated me. The lobby was captivating and humbling like that, so when I glance at things like the ceiling or how things are arranged and they all complement each other... it’s quite refined, isn’t it? So when I feel that kind of ‘blending,’ I almost can’t stand it. The white sand and the grass in the courtyard and the building are all in harmony, it’s so refined... aaaah, I wanna live here! (laughs)”
We’d still like to stay there... If we come to his “historic town” of UNESCO sites, ceremonies and temples, we want to come in contact with those classical and traditional buildings! So with that, we headed for Manshuin Temple. Called the “Villa of the Tiny Japanese Judas Tree,” it was skillfully designed in a refined, traditional Japanese style. “Even though the entrance isn’t very big, the building spreads out steadily and it’s really neat. It’s pretty typically traditional, right? So it’s really a beautiful garden. With this traditional garden, you really get the feeling of a houseboat, with the ocean as one’s garden... it’s really touching. With the water for washing your hands out in the open, it honestly makes you reflect as you take in the moonlight. Especially in the summer, when you can hear the cicadas chirping all around you, and the scenery.... and speaking of, it’s got this amazing air about it. It was such an unbelievable time!’
Matsujun thought, “I want to see, I want to feel,” and it aimlessly took him to Kyoto. Modern and classical, the interesting temples into which he came in contact, and this basic idea of a “garden” made him feel increasingly revitalized. “Maaaan, it was great! If I study about more and more stuff, I’m sure I’ll learn more and more interesting things. Manshuin temple was really great, but I really loved the modern tea house. With it functioning as a hotel, it’s really “moving” and you feel rejuvenated. And then... there was the garden. The garden was awesome. I hella want one like that. The whole thing was a really great experience!” What did I think was interesting? The way the antennae were strung up, they did it in a really tasteful way. What kind of curiosity will be awaiting Matsumoto Jun next time?
. notes .
1. basically a purdy garden.
2. Near the Westin Miyako Hotel in Kyoto. I guess? This is what the Google tells me, so...
3. Kansai-ben like whaaat!
and thanks for the scans, sng!

It would be great, if he got a dog. He talked about it at least 2 years ago. Probably it would be difficult to have one, when he is so busy, but I think his life would be happier with the dog. :)
I love random curiosity too. XD
But someday he could have something like that arbour. ;)

It is really sad that he loves them but they don´t like him. T___T But I think baby animals could like him a lot. ;)

This is pretty an interesting place to visit ne I think it would be nice to see something like this. Just from the photo made me want to go and see how is it really like. Just from the photo looks like it's kind of like an old style japanese house somehow I guess. I mean when I looked at the photo from the top of the roof. It's look really intersting, but inside is another feeling, right? the outside is totally different from the insidd. And the view outside is pretty nice too. You surround with nature and MatsuJun likes this kind of place too epscially when the building surrounding with beautiful garden :)
I think if MatsuJun has a day off, I'm sure he would want to go visit this place again. ^^
