Receive with the skin
The towels that you couldn't let go of as a child,
Like a blanket that you want to wrap yourself in even if it's so worn out it's worn out.
Even before we even have a sense of self-worth, we may all have that sense of security when someone is close by.
When you are sensitive to things,
I am troubled by my skin that is directly exposed to irritation and shows changes,
It may be that they are sensitive to the sensation of feeling good.
My theme lately is texture.
With this in mind, I am now turning my attention to weaving, which I have been studying for some time now.
The process of spinning and weaving begins with washing the wool of sheep, which has absorbed all of the air of the land where they have lived.
This texture gradually appears when you remove the abundant oil and any attached grass or dirt.
Even within the same breeding area, each cow is unique, and just like us, the feel of their soft downy fur is completely different from the fur on the tough parts of their body that protect them.
After the water has been removed from the fabric in the sunlight and it has become fluffy, the fibers are arranged in a way that makes them suitable for spinning.
We proceed, checking the texture of the skin not only on the fingertips and palms but also on the arms, neck, and other parts of the body.
It's interesting how the same stimulus feels differently in different parts of the body.
In my case, the emphasis is not on the finished product,
A big part of my interest is exploring how the sensation of touching the skin changes at each stage.
As it travels through your skin, it transforms into thread as you sense its effect on yourself.
Not only are there differences in the way parts of the body feel,
Depending on your condition, the way you perceive external stimuli can change in many ways.
I feel like person-to-person contact is particularly easy to communicate.
When you're feeling down and someone strokes your back, it can feel like water is flowing through you, filling you with a feeling that words alone cannot convey.
Sensations are unique to each person.
I would like to consciously explore what I can notice through my skin, among the five senses.
