The two world wars have left wounds and memories to all Asian countries. Events in the war have made inevitable or coincidental impact on the cultures of all the countries engaged in war, while local assimilation has imprinted this imported culture with distinctive regional differences. As is mentioned in the works of Koki Tanaka, during the World War II American troops stationed in Japan introduced basketball into popular culture of Japanese youth. What unnoticed influences has war brought to our daily life? What kind of reflections -- in terms of the nature of war and the history and status quo of countries engaged in war -- can be inspired from scrutinizing these influences? What form do recollections of war take in daily language passed from mouth to mouth?
两次世界大战给亚洲各国带来了共同的伤痕和记忆，战争史中的事件则或偶然或必然地影响了所有参与者的文化，而本地的同化方式则给这种外传文化现象打上了独特地域差异的烙印。正如展览中田中功起的作品中谈到，二战期间的驻日美军将篮球带入了日本青年的流行文化，战争对我们如今的日常生活带来了哪些不易察觉的影响？对这些痕迹的审视又能引出我们对战争本质、交战国的历史和现状什么样的反思？关于战争的回忆，在口口相传的日常语言中是以什么形态存在的？
