Since 2022, Sayake has been involved in an artist-in-residence program(FS x FH artist in residence) at Fukuroda Psychiatric Hospital in Daigo Town, Ibaraki Prefecture, North of Tokyo.
When the project first began, strict restrictions due to COVID-19 were still in place, making it necessary to conduct workshops and other activities online.
The lack of contact and face-to-face communication via digital devices limited the use of the five senses.
Through this experience, Sayaka began to wonder whether the reduction of sensory stimulation had a significant impact on our bodies and minds.
If so, how are we able to restore balance to our physical and mental states, and recover essential human functions.
Travelling Tea House is an art project created through a collaboration between the artist and the staff and clients of the Psychiatric Hospital.
Within a space made of indigo-dyed cloth and mosquito net, a tea party with indigo tea is held.
For anywhere from a couple of people to around ten, tea is served by the artist, conversations are held and experiences are shared together.
The indigo were grown at the hospital’s Natural Farming Department Cocoa Farm.
During Sayaka’s stay, she and the hospital staff and clients dyed fabric with indigo leaves, repaire mosquito nets found in an old traditional house in Tokushima, and gathered in this blue space—different from the usual hospital environment—to have indigo tea made by Cocoa
Farm and share stories with one another.
By stimulating the senses of touch and smell, the project aims to evoke memories, and through collaborative work, to create shared experiences and collective memory.
In Japanese tradition, mosquito nets were traditionally hand-sewn by women of the household within a single day.
They were dyed with indigo to protect against insects and evil spirits. Once completed, the women would sit inside, to celebrate, talk together, and share their dreams and fears.
Inspired by this tradition and way of life, Traveling Tea House gradually took shape at Fukuroda Hospital.
