Field notes
The homepage is structured like a small room: an entrance leads to a worktable holding ten boxes, each associated with people, activities, stories, places, or future possibilities. Its local frame is unusually specific, naming Hikari in Yamaguchi and the Seto Inland Sea while tracing a connection to Tokyo’s mountain area. The page also preserves a personal story about Mare, a parakeet who lived for roughly six months, and links that memory to the project’s recurring themes of hands, hearts, and inheritance.
