Abstract:
(Chinese version only)
日本在香木的評論歷史上、其中一次是從婆娑羅(在南北朝等出現的時尚，特別是通過穿著奇裝異服，對鎌倉時代的保守制度作出反抗)大名留下的大量香木藏品有系統地分門別類，在足利義政的命令下，由志野流的初代志野宗信和御家流香道的三条西實隆一起選出名香六十一種，保存至今。排列在前的分別有法隆寺、東大寺（蘭奢待）、逍遥、三芳野、紅塵、枯木、中川、法華経等。名香的名稱不但用了日本的名剎，而且也反映出當時香道受中國詩詞的影響；唐代詩人白居易在其十多首的詩中提到的香爐峰，也被用作名香之命名。在這講座中，講者會以中日品香文化的相似和分別來反思其價值和意義。
