“The Nightingale” (1844)

I will sit on a bough outside your window, in the evening, and sing to you, so that you may be happy, and have thoughts full of joy.
I will sing to you of those who are happy, and those who suffer; of the good and the evil, who are hidden around you. The little singing bird flies far from you and your court to the home of the fisherman and the peasant’s cot. I love your heart better than your crown; and yet something holy lingers round that also.
I will come, I will sing to you; but you must promise me one thing.

Hans Christian Andersen

There were overflowing numbers of "differences" in our world.
Those differences would have been rooted in their respective fields, not been disharmony.

Before the diversity was uniformed by modernization, what was the world like?

"Quitan" is a bricolage of such fellowships for beautiful cultures.

私達の世界は、豊かな”違い”で溢れていました。
世界中に散りばめられたそれらは、決して不調和などでなく、それぞれの地に根を張り、共存していたことでしょう。

ほんの100年前の世界、文明の発展とともに多様性が失われる前の世界とは、一体どの様なものであったのだろう。
点と点とを線で結び、紐解いてみたいのです。

"quitan"とは、そういった、いきいきとした文化との交歓の記録なのです。
