オト の アート #3
In 2001 I stayed in a traditional Japanese-style ryokan (guesthouse) in Ohno in Gifu Prefecture. There was a square `irori` cooking pit in the floor of the living room, with a variety of iron hook-and-lever systems(jizaikagi) for holding pots above it.

I made sketches there, then did this 20 x 30cm woodblock print later at home.

Do you like woodblock print?I feel  nostalgia from this print.But I think that it decreases houses that have an iron hook-and-lever system or a square 'irori' cooking pit.
I saw them when I stayed a private house which takes in paying guests in Nagano Prefecture.
