Fish of a Distant Time (stuffed toy) When you walk in the natural wilderness left behind in the Yatsugatake Mountains, you feel "living nature" and "natural time" that is different from human society. Nature is both near and far, kind and terrible, neither inside nor outside, just as it is. Nature gives me a sense of expansion. Also, Yatsugatake is a place where the Jomon culture flourished, and many clay figurines have been excavated. Clay figures are primitive, magical, and charming. The three-dimensional objects created by our ancestors 10,000 years ago are very creative and give us a sense of time immemorial. The fish is a plush toy. The inside is made of cloth and cotton, and the surface is represented by paper. The branches are made of both artificial and natural materials. The base is also made of both artificial and natural stones. The plush parts are joined to the branches. (This is the artist's original production method, which won the Grand Prix at the Japan Teddy Bear Association's contest.) Unlike ordinary stuffed animals, this product is not suitable for touching. The surface is specially processed and natural materials such as branches are incorporated into the work, so please handle with care to avoid damage. *Signature is on the back *Cannot be exhibited outdoors, photos are for illustrative purposes only.
