瓦解 117×78 cm painted in june 2006






The title of this piece is" Gakai".


In English-(a fall; a downfall; (a) collapse)

神号紙に日本画材で描いたI painted this piece wih traditional pigments on paper called jingo.
Jingo is one of many kinds of washi.
Traditional Japanese paper is known as
Washi.
この神号は楮とパルプからなっている。Jingo paper is made from pult and kozo.
Kozo (paper mulberry) is a
plant which is has traditionally been used for making paper for centuries.
古典的な素材である、楮は
職人が湯であげ、腐らせ、手で洗い、繊維を取り出す。
Craftmen used to hand make Jingo. When kozo is used to make washi the
traditional way, craftmen would ferment boiled kozo in buckets and leave it
to soak. After some time the kozo is washed with water and the natural
fibers are extracted by hand.
それに加え、楮のみで作られた紙はパルプの紙よりも柔らかく、強い。
In fact, Paper made from 100% kozo fibers is softer and stronger than paper
made from pulp.
一方、今日、パルプは工場で生産される、流通に便利な素材だ。
On the other hand,
Nowadays, pulp is made in factorys ans is now a convenient
material for distribution.
工場で作られた短い繊維から作られているため、柔らかくなく、ペらペらで、破けやすい。
Pulp paper is not soft, but floppy and its easy to tear since maked from too short fibers produced from Factory.
現在ほとんどの紙はパルプで出来ている。
Today ,most paper today is made from
pulp since conveniece for distribution.
But It`s inconvenience for creation.

神号を使うと、パルプの一般然としている不自然さに気づき
和紙のしなやかな可能性に気づきます。
When I use Jingo,I notice that it is really unnatural we usually use only pulp paper and that there are flexible possiblty in washi.

なんか切ない。I feel anything make me sad in time treating Jingo.
I guess this sadness suggest anythig.

神号は麻からなる雲肌麻紙と比べ弱い。Compared with kumohada mashi which is is the strongest type of washi, jingo is a weaker washi. (Kumohada mashi is made from hemp longer fibers.) .

柿渋で固めながら描いた。
Since jingo is weak I reinforced it with "kakishibu" (fermented persimon tannin and
paraffin) which is traditionally used to reinforce a special Japanese paper
umbrella, the bangasa.

高級筆(長流)二本が無知の犠牲に。
Then two expensive brushes were spoilt because Kakishibu reiforced the brushes,
ひとり泣いたI cried loudly.
マイルス や ハコ など 聴いたI painted while listening to Hako Yamazaki and Miles Davis.
