9 October
In the meanwhile, not so far from the Salt Way museum, I found a Otafuku mask in a toy shop.
This object has the concrete power to get people in a very likeable mood. The owner of the shop, too, did not resist.
I started my production of Otafuku masks choosing a pink fabric as material.
Pink is the color of the time-off I think. Even without disturbing Nietzsche Shopenauer e Bergson we might find the connections between the laughing and the color that reminds us the pleasure, the happiness, the dolls of the childhood.
I hope to find people who want use my masks in the “self portrait as Otafuku”, the workhop I want hold next week.
In the meantime in my temporary studio I am weaving the irori
…and I am well on track as you can see from my feet.
I choosed the white thread for its design, like the white hair of Inari, another femal divinity connected with “riso” in the sense of rice, that I descovered in the city. Because where else could there have been a sanctuary dedicated to her ?
