Field notes
The page describes HUSHI as a string instrument whose tension changes when its body bends, allowing it to play any scale. The project says the series began in 2012 and has grown into more than ten models, including a branch connected to its TIME⇆MACHINE works. It also describes DEN-JIKI as bringing electronics together with Japanese craft traditions such as kintsugi and kinsai.
