🌊【文化講座推薦】鯨海千年：日本列島的人・海・鯨 🐋
海與鯨魚，如何在數千年的歲月裡，編織出人與自然共生的深厚記憶？
日本列島與鯨魚的緣分，跨越了數千年的時光。從繩文時代對漂著鯨的珍視與利用、阿伊努文化中將鯨靈視為神聖存在的祭祀，再到平戶市生月島古式捕鯨中對生命的感謝與供養——鯨魚不僅支撐了沿海社群的生活，更承載著人類對浩瀚海洋的敬畏與崇敬。
本次講座特別邀請到平戶市生月町博物館「島之館」館長——中園成生 先生親臨主講，帶領大家穿梭時空，從歷史、文化與生態的角度，重新思考人、海洋與眾生生命在敬意中彼此依託、尋求共生的永續關係。 誠摯邀請對海洋文化、歷史記憶與台日交流感興趣的朋友前來聆聽！

🌊【Cultural Lecture】A Thousand Years of Whales and the Sea: People, Sea, and Whales of the Japanese Archipelago 🐋
How have the sea and whales woven a profound memory of coexistence between humanity and nature over thousands of years?

The connection between the Japanese archipelago and whales spans millennia. From the Jomon period's appreciation and utilization of drifting whales, to the Ainu culture's reverence for whale spirits in rituals, to the gratitude and offerings to life expressed in the ancient whaling practices on Iwatsuki Island in Hirado City—whales not only sustained the lives of coastal communities but also embodied humanity's awe and reverence for the vast ocean.

This lecture is specially hosted by Mr. Nakazono Nakazono, Director of the "Island Museum" in Iwatsuki Town, Hirado City. He will guide the audience through time, rethinking from historical, cultural, and ecological perspectives the interdependent and sustainable relationship between humanity, the ocean, and all life, seeking coexistence with reverence. We sincerely invite those interested in marine culture, historical memory, and Taiwan-Japan exchange to attend!
