ABOUT CHESNUT

China was the earliest country to cultivate chestnut, with the initial purpose of satisfying hunger and forming the industry of planting chestnut trees. Due to the close connection between chestnut and people's lives, people began to use chestnut for poetry, painting, and taking chestnut as their surname. The earliest oracle bone inscriptions in China also contain records of chestnut script.

Chestnuts are mostly recorded in the form of words, paintings, and images. Yuki collected the fallen leaves, barks, and fruits of chestnut trees, break down and recombine them, and recorded them in the medium of paper. Through the viewer's sense of sight, touch and smell, the chestnut fruits, the chestnut barks, the chestnut leaves.

PAPER DISPLAY

Yuki thinks paper is a vehicle for recording and inheritance, and in this age of digital recording, she woulds like to convey the chestnut tree through this physical recording, because she doesn't think modeling, or simulating smell, can reproduce the real chestnut tree, so even if the chesnut trees don't exist in the future, they can still be transmitted in the way that they are recorded on paper.
