In last December, I put my piece of “Shifu*” on a personal exhibition of Ayako Ueda, a stone-carving artist, which was held at Gallery SU. The Shifu was my collaboration with her.
At her request, I wove a piece of fabric with sheet music of BACH ”Suite Ⅵ BWV1012 SARABAND”, which is a special piece of music for her and listened to frequently.

Perhaps, I should call the piece “Fufu**” instead of “Shifu”, to be more accurate.
The woven Shifu (Fufu) shows the shape of staff notation and you can definitely feel the music.
When placed the stone carving work of Ueda-san on my Shifu (Fufu), it was like a boat floating calmly in rippling Shifu (Fufu)-made water.
