When you enter Zuiunan, the venue for the exhibition "Reweaving the Rainbow ", you will be greeted by a stone that the artist found while strolling upstream of the Kamo River. When the stone is shaved thinly and looked into it with a polarizing microscope, the interference of light of various colors that cannot be seen by the human eye jumps into the eyes.

Material: Estimated 300 million-year-old Kamogawa stone (basalt), mirror, Victorian era polarizing microscope, basalt thin specimen

「虹の再織」展の会場である瑞雲庵を入ると、賀茂川上流を散策中にで出逢った石が出迎える。

その石を薄く削って偏光顕微鏡でのぞき込むと人間の肉眼では見えない様々な色の光の干渉が目に飛び込んでくる。

素材:推定三億年の賀茂川の石(玄武岩) 、鏡、ヴィクトリア時代の偏光顕微鏡、玄武岩の薄片
