Sakariba - Sakariba

Japanese: 盛場 - さかりば

An area of a city where restaurants, shops, entertainment facilities, etc. are concentrated and where a large number of people gather on a regular basis. Unlike residential and workplace spaces where individuals' status and roles are determined and highly restrictive, entertainment venues are highly anonymous spaces where people gather and do not even know each other's names. Therefore, people can behave as equal and free human beings, free from their own daily routines, individuality, and hierarchical status. In a sense, this is a world that is appropriate for Heidegger's ``das Man,'' which refers to a state in which everyone is someone else and no one is themselves (Being and Time).

Japanese:

飲食店，商店，娯楽施設等が集中し，恒常的に人が多数集まる都市の一地域。個人の地位や役割が定められ，拘束性が強い住居空間や職場空間と異なり，盛場は互いに名前も知らない人々が集まる匿名性の高い空間である。それゆえ，自己の日常性や個性，身分の上下等とは離れて，平等で自由な人間としてふるまうことができる。これは，ある意味では，だれもが他人でありかつだれひとりとして自分自身ではない状態を指したハイデッガーの〈ダス･マンdas Man，ひと〉にふさわしい世界である(《存在と時間》)。
