About the artwork

An artwork based on the fictional story: “The ‘House of Faith’ where an eccentric lives, teaching methods for rituals like exorcism and memorial services from the mountains. It seems the ‘Kamagami-sama’ hold tea gatherings there…”The author connects the daily work, death, and illness-related faith practices of Akiyamago with the tea gatherings held in the village. By framing the tea gatherings as a new ritual for maintaining connections, it attempts to consider the faith of this place as a possible future form of care.
