Grandfather’s Diary + The family tree of Hayashi's
2021

In my grandfather's diary on January 9, 1980, the day I was born, the events of that day are spelled out like my grandfather.

In his autobiography (1997), in which my grandfather looked back on his life and wrote his memory in his later years, he wrote that he dedicated the book to the spirits of his deceased parents, relatives and ancestors. He also wrote in the book that if my family and someone involved read this book in 100 years time, he would be happy and it feels that his life will continues until then.

Material: 1980 diary, photo, business card, clock, paper box, grandfather's book, photo, bellows book made from grandfather's student notebook found at Kamigamo Observatory, red flower, glass, paper box

祖父の日記 + 林の系譜
2021

私が生まれた1980年 1月9日の祖父の日記には、祖父らしく淡々としたその日の出来事が綴られている。

また、祖父が晩年に自身の生涯を振り返り記憶を綴った、自伝『来し方の記』(1997)には、祖父が亡き父母や親族、先祖並びに縁故者の霊に捧げるため著されたこと、そしてこの本を家族や関わりのあるだれかがいつか読んでくれれば私の命も生き延びるようなものだと、書かれている。

素材:1980年の日記帳、写真、名刺、時計、紙箱 、祖父の本、写真、上賀茂観測所で発見された祖父の学生時代のノートで作成した蛇腹本、紅花、ガラス、紙箱
