富草の席 Tobi no seki 2003
昔の日本では、稲穂を富める草として富草( とみくさ) と呼んだとも聞く。
稲穂は、数千年に及び、日本人にとり精神と身体を培う神聖なものとして伝えられてきた。
いうなれば日本人の生命とも言える。
その日本人の衣食住をはじめ、文化や精神も支え続けてきた稲藁により作品を制作し、同時に稲穂の実（米）をいただいた。
衣食が織り成す空間を作り出すことで、私達の生命を再考する試みを行った。
One of the aims of this project was to "bring together professionals of different skills and capitalize on their expertise to do a project focused on inaho." Some of the artworks presented at Tobi no Seki were created in collaboration with several craftsmen. One of such series of works, "Ten Hands," combines the term "taba, which describes bundling people and ideas by crossing several conditions and objects to integrating them into one," with the idea of "taba, as a unit provided to count ten sets of hitonigiri, which amounts to a handful." Techniques to "twist (nau) " and "bind (tabaneru) " were incorporated into the process.
