Art work: "A Remembrance of the Time, Plants in Mino" |
I made twelve holes in the garden at the studio.
The holes are the same size as the traditional Mino paper. I waited for
water, wind, birds and other natural happenings to bring seeds and for new
plants to grow there in the course of nature. When the seeds sprouted, I
put the small new plants in the papers I had made. The layout of the plants
and place in the paper is designed by nature. I wish to preserve the time and a remembrance of those moments, which we can never see, inside the washi. |
