I have conducted indigenous festivals and customs fieldwork in various parts of the country as a verification of the method of “rooting in the homeland” under the theme of “Connection between land and people.” During the field work in Vietnam this spring and summer, I met a tomb that is for a Japanese man who died in a foreign country during the Edo period. The tomb was facing 10 ° northeast, which is the direction of Japan. It was surrounded by a lot of wildlife and was standing in a vast rice field. This encounter raised a question: "Where do people bury their bones?" This question reflects various things deep in people's minds, such as a sense of belonging. In recent years, I have been thinking that objective recognition of the culture and common sense of their own community is an important key as a way to alleviate the friction that occurs between communities. In this exhibition, we would like to explore a new perspective by focusing on the “sense of belonging” that sleeps in people under the theme of “filling bones”.
