Lady Take in the legend of “The Pinetree of the Sunrise in Mutsu” is sometimes portrayed as a servant. But when I first visited Hirono Town, Mr. Suzuki, the chairman of the tourist association, said some powerful words to me: “Take must have been an intelligent and sophisticated woman, as she was entrusted with educating the lord’s children.” Not just in this legend, but all the countless nameless women who appear in old tales as wet nurses and servants were intelligent and lived their lives with pride in their work. I wondered if it was possible to create a work that praised the way such women lived. I put this thought into my work, “a thousand years.” The title of the work refers to the years of the nameless servants and wet nurses who lived during the thousand years from the Heian period, when the legend of “The Pinetree of the Sunrise in Mutsu” was born to the present day.

I am studying prostitutes in the 1800s in Japan.
And made the performance about it.
This theme is going back to real pure land.
・Probably, In the root of a prostitute has a perverted feeling that “It can not be beautiful if it does not get dirty?”
・My work and love to think into the poor prince ‘s spirit.
・The reason for having a river is to spread water to Edo. To “reversely flow” the river in a video gimmick means that the prostitute who lost herself was released from slavery to Edo and headed for Pure Land in a new sense.
