Planting Ceremony / The Museum of Art, Kochi

At the Museum of Art, Kochi, the exhibition “Revive Time” Kaki Tree Project in Kochi was held from the 20th of July through the 16th of September, 2001, which was followed by several related events such as the exhibition “From Dappan (Escape from the Domain) Road to Kaki Tree” and “Hand-made Musical Instruments Workshop” until the tree planting ceremony.

The tree planting ceremony was held at the entrance hall due to drizzling rain. Approximately 30 people including children and their parents attended. After the speech given by Mr. Ebinuma, “Kaki Tree Musical Band”, which consisted of workshop participants, played music. The musical instruments such as flute, drums, Kakimba and Hyoukin that were made at the “Hand-made Musical Instruments Workshop” held in December 2001 and January 2002 were used in the performance. The sound of the hand-made instruments such as Kalimba made of persimmon tree echoed around the hall and the persimmon tree was planted in green space on the grounds of the museum.
The plate for the tree was made by the artist, Mr. Seigo, who conducted the workshop.
