I express “connections through time and things that are passed down generation by generation” using wood and string. Wood contains growth rings that show its growth over the years. You can see the passage and buildup of time. During the short period when sericulture prospered, there was a time when people and silkworms lived very close lives. The closeness between people and silkworms is expressed through this embroidery on wood. The embroidery has a front and a back. Two sides of the same coin are woven with thread to convey stories and feelings. I created this work using cedar and wild cherry wood that were given to me during my many visits and stays in Kuni.
