意識の向け方｜Consciousness

近年開放的な場が多くなった。使い方を限定しない、オープンで誰でも出入りできるような空間だ。オフィスもオープンでフリーアドレスが増えた。しかしこういう場で何かしようとすると意外と難しいことが多い。気が散って集中しづらいのだ。お茶の世界では囲いが重要な意味を持つという。囲いによって結界を作り、意識を内向きに集中させる。たとえ囲いが透明で外から見られるとしても集中させることができるという。囲いがない野点のような場では、いつもより良いお茶道具を一品持っていけという教えがあると聞く。その道具に人々の意識を集中させることができるからだ。このような人の意識を向けさせるシカケをまず意識することが大切なんだなぁ。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

Open spaces have become more and more common in recent years. They are open spaces that do not limit usage, and anyone can come and go. Offices are also becoming more open and free-addressable. However, it is often surprisingly difficult to do anything in such places. It is hard to concentrate because of distractions. In the world of tea ceremony, it is said that enclosures have an important meaning. The enclosure creates a boundary and focuses one's attention inward. Even if the enclosure is transparent and can be seen from the outside, it is still possible to concentrate. I have heard that there is a teaching that in a place like Nodate, where there is no enclosure, one should always bring a better tea utensil. This is because it is possible to focus people's attention on the utensil. I think it is important to be aware of the means to make people focus their attention on such things. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
