【日本樂散步】融合 X 異類

 

Chion 1

 


Chion 2最愛的手信是健康又耐放的綠茶,順便也購入在茶店賣的海苔(紫菜)和昆布茶。一種是產自山中,另一種則是海獲,昔日給為生存求變通的商人相中,兩者雖然風馬牛不相及,卻能成為組合同店出售,新商機因應而生。茶的生產期在四至十月,海苔則在十一至三月收獲,兩者的出產時段剛好把一年填滿,每月都有買賣,賺取收入。加上茶及海苔都是對臭味及濕度敏感的乾貨,有著同樣的乾燥保存及收藏方式,倉庫也能一年到頭存貨滿滿。不同類型的商品因天然因素被連在一起變成傳統,也是現代流行 Mix and Match(混合組合、異類融合等)的元祖輩融合商店。

異類融合也像我和在日本認識的朋友,各有性格的「異類」個體。因充滿創意的天父沒有造出兩個完全相同的人,每個人的樣子及個性都獨特。不同的文化背景不代表就不能和諧共處,有異見、相反喜好也能相處愉快。可能大家都願意盡力溝通,接納差異,珍惜磨滑後的融合關係。

未知的事多如繁星,「異」於所知不一定就是不好,先不要怒形於色地拒絕,心平氣和地多看、多聞、多瞭解這個「異」常,可能比本有的更合適,去蕪存菁、融合貫通才是聰明人。時代變遷,競爭加烈,網上購物送貨極方便的日本,單一貨品的實體店吸引力及利潤在減少中,服務及產品改革不足以吸引更多的眼球。商人為了存留而不得不迎入異元素,與另類的商品融合,異常的衝擊力再度引起關注,並連帶互動引入新客源。

不同性質企業混和合作創出新型式的融合店舖,東京代表店就是 2012 年開張的 Uniqlo X Bic Camera(服裝店 X 電器店)=異次元新店。「次元」是數學用語「空間」的意思,異次元可以理解作異常和平日不同的新空間。如某男士本來只打算去電器店買電動剃鬚刀,看到旁邊掛著一欄男裝超薄保暖內衣,就順便買了兩件加三雙襪子。或是從不逛電器店的白領美女,在服裝店走向上班套裝處時,經過電動按摩機特賣攤位,突然感到肩及腰有點痛,好奇下就坐下試用。前無古人超新穎的組合,一軟一硬完全異類,但能互補客源相極的欠缺而連帶豐盈商機,想像不到的合拍。急驚風的友人,常給慢郎中的老友拖著,這組合經常互添傷痕但無損友誼,因在忠誠善意的勸導下避免了不少麻煩事,箴言27章6節:「朋友加的傷痕,出於忠誠;仇敵連連親嘴,卻是多餘。」

物盡其用融合店,因貨品已有,只等配對。鐵路橋下的便利店 X 全自助卡拉 OK,橋下空地建的便利店有大量現成輕食,是唱歌的人需要的飲品及食物。無印良品 X 租屋,現成的品牌傢具加空置舊屋邨及酒店,一拍即合,重新裝修及提供傢具的超型格租屋,吸引愛用者的入住。書店 X 百樣商設,雜誌裡介紹最新科技或運動商品,貨品及專人指導就在書旁。翻看旅遊書,心動想放假,旅行社專桌在書店內。書店變身百貨,把 DIY 裝備、嬰孩商品、鐘表眼鏡、香薰等令人眼花繚亂的商品都全夾在書群中,有點霸氣的文商融合!大俠性格的霸氣友人,找她幫助一定盡力而為,但要她聽你說就有點難度。

親善大使咖啡茶座,什麼樣的商店也可參一腳。隨著輕便即磨咖啡器出廠,辦個舒適的 Cafe 真是非常容易。舒緩購物疲勞的 Café 為吸引消費,設在地產公司內、超級市場麵包部旁、運動店的露營帳篷內等,高級的時裝店更提供酒精飲品,一邊飲一邊試穿。博物館式的汽車銷售及畫廊店,讓人慢慢地眼賞口飲。室內釣魚場、手工藝 DIY 課室、露營式電影小院等活動空間,填滿了咖啡或茶的香氣。冰冷的自助洗衣店也因咖啡茶座變得生氣勃勃,無聊的等候時間,因一杯飲品讓陌生人開始交流,路過的左鄰右里把這裡成了社交休憩區。不論那種配搭,包容量大的特性,咖啡茶座圓滑地融入各式各樣的店中。不論它是主角或是配角,因咖啡而來購物,還是購物順路來飲一杯,總知這裡是最令人放鬆心情的小角落。有著 Café 性格的基督徒友人,親切的她不是沒有主見,只是比較寬容忍耐,「若是能行,總要盡力與眾人和睦。」(羅馬書12:18)貼近溫柔的她很是舒心。

為利益,商人必死地找相類點而融和,為建立良好人際關係,也要用心付出真誠。有差異是正常,因沒有第二個你,當發現差異時,先不要太快放棄,用愛、體恤及謙讓去接受別人的「異」。

謝謝天父,讓我在異鄉中能遇上相親相愛異類的同行者!
