Message from Soil
Shogo Nunoshita
Concept
Our ancestors described a person's life in another way: "People are born in the soil and return to the soil." This means that when humans end their lives, they will return to the soil again. The soil is ingrained with the soul of the deceased and the memories of those who lived there. If you can put your thoughts into the soil, it should be your messager and you should be able to send a message to your loved ones. At the workshop, we will write a message on the paper that returns to the soil and bury it in the soil to deliver your thoughts to those who cannot convey their thoughts in words.
Process
1. Enter the partitioned space and calm your mind.
2. Think of your loved one and write the message you want to convey on the paper that returns to the soil.
3. Take the paper with the message and head to the back of the museum.
4. Bury the paper in the soil.
