Sakura swaying in the wind : Rotate_individual

SOLD OUT

These are fragments of old structures polished by the valley water and twigs dropped by the cherry trees planted along the riverbank.

谷の水が磨いた構造物の欠片と、川岸に植えられた桜が落とした小枝です。

In the mountainous area near Tokyo where my studio is located, villages are dotted along the river that runs through the valley. Our scenery is created by interweaving the trees grown in the mountains for forestry purposes, the garden trees of the villages, and the native plants along the river.

私のスタジオがある東京近郊の中山間地では、谷を流れる川に沿って集落が点在しています。山で林業として育てられる樹木を中心に、集落の庭木と川沿いの自生の植物が織り重なるようにして風景をつくり出しています。

It seems that many of the cherry trees were planted over the last 100 years. The increase in stumps of older cherry trees is inevitable, as trees have a lifespan.
Along the riverside nearby, some old structures are decaying, while others are being maintained.

多くの桜はこの100年の間に植えられたものが多いのだそうです。樹齢を重ねた桜の切り株が増えたのは、木にも寿命があるので仕方のない事。
その傍の川辺では、朽ちていくかつての構造物もあれば、手入れされていく構造物もあります。

Our scenery is always changing. There are small_fast rhythms, and slow_large rhythms. If the change is too fast, I feel lonely, and if it is too slow, I feel uneasy.
I feel there is an ideal rhythm for things.

風景はいつも変化しています。そこには小さく早いリズムもあれば、ゆっくりとした大きなリズムもあります。変化が早すぎれば寂しく、遅過ぎれば不安を感じるもので。物事にはあるべきリズムがあるのだろうと思っています。

When I see a young cherry tree propped up next to a cherry tree stump, I feel a sense of joy. I'm sure the wild birds that enjoyed the nectar in the spring feel the same way.
The magnificent rhythm begins to rotate again, swaying in the wind.

桜の切り株のその傍に、誰かによって添木された桜の幼木を見ると、なんだか嬉しい気持ちになります。春に蜜を楽しんできた野鳥達もきっと同じ気持ちのはずです。大きなリズムがまた風にそよいで回り始めます。

I hope that rhythm and balance will lead to harmony.
