フィリピン・山岳少数民族イフガオの小学校でのワークショップ。彼らの暮らしの中心である棚田の年中行事を、採集した土の絵具と木版画で描きました。木版画には季節ごとの年中行事の名を彼らの民族のことばで書き、作品を交換してカレンダーになるよう綴りました。農作業を手伝い自然に親しむこどもたちは、きれいな色の土のありかや彫刻刀の使い方をよく知っていました。

Annual events at rice paddy in Hapao

(Hapao Elementary School, Organized by The Japan Foundation, Manila 2014)
This was a woodblock printmaking workshop at an elementary school for the indigenous mountain people of Ifugao of the Philippines. Students drew the annual events at the terrace rice paddy fields, which are the center of their lives, using collected soil paint. In the woodblock print, they wrote the names of the annual events for each season in their ethnic language, and exchanged the prints, so a calendar could be bound. Children who help with farm work and commune with nature knew where to find soil with beautiful color and how to use a chisel well.
