Folding Kaishiki for the sea stone
Tomoko Iwata
Concept
Pinch it in half and then fold the paper to the right to make it happy, and to the left to fold it to make it sad." Gently place the stones you picked up in Japan on the folded paper. The exchange at the welfare facility called Caminos in Argentina started from this. This shape, which is completed by simply folding one side, is called "Kaishiki", and the shape of good or bad can be expressed by "where to shift the paper". The stones picked up in the sea are placed on top of this time. Imagine the will of the stone that came from somewhere in the wide sea that connects the world and arrived at the beach while being shaken by the waves. The guests who visit the tea room will offer the stones and leave them one after another, and the guests will transform into a place where they can imagine the intention of the stones together through the stones.
Process
1. Choose one stone among those around the mirror in the center of the Artist's chashitsu.
2. Read the message from the reflection by the mirror; holding the stone in hand then holding it over the mirror, head to the desk.
3. Purify the desk wiping it.
4. Take a deep breath and prepare to fold
5. While imagining the will of the stone, fold the stone according to the stone.
6. Place stones on empty shelves.
