art work title:'Moshimoshi Kansho-san'
site: Naha, Makishi
concept (aug 2008)

My grandfather, Kansho. He was no gossip and didn't talk about his memories. He never talked about things concerning him, despite the deficiencies of his body. Anyway, I heard he was talented in harmonica, outstanding in bowling and lost his family in the war. That's all I know about my grandfather I never met. After he died, his house was overgrown by trees and every kind of plants. I wanted to know what happend there, but contrary to the outside, time doesn't seem to pass by inside the house. I can feel that he lived there once. After he died, my grandfather continued to quietly talk. As if I listened to him, I want to press my ears against the several things inside this house, which treasures him, to follow his paths.
