Hi No Shishu Yoshimasu Go Zukuri 2008-2017

[Machine Translation] Hi-no-Shisuki" is a continuation of "Nigen-no-Te-Yo-drop", a book dedicated to Mr. Takaaki Yoshimoto, and has two distinct time frames. The first is a total of 91 texts written by Gozo Yoshimasu during the ten years from 2008 to 2005. The other is a portrait photograph of Gozo Yoshimasu taken on the 22nd of every month for a year from February 2011 to February 2012. The book, "Hi-no-sho" (Embroidery of Fire), is a tapestry born from the roots of consciousness and existence, attacked and woven over and over again. Of special note is the psalm "To Afanassiev, the Eternal Traveler" (French translation included), which was written especially for this book. This book of love was born as a result of the miraculous writing of a psalm that foreshadows a new dimension of Gozo Yoshimasu's work, from "Ma" to "Ma" in voice.

『火ノ刺繍』は、『根源乃手―余滴』、吉本隆明氏に献じられた書物の続篇として編まれ、歴然とふたつの時間軸が存在している。ひとつは、二〇〇八年から二〇一七年の十年間に、吉増剛造が書き残してきたテキスト、全九一篇。もうひとつは、二〇一一年二月から二〇一二年二月までの一年間、毎月二二日に撮影された吉増剛造の肖像写真。幾重にも襲ねられ、幾度も織られていく、意識と存在の根源から生まれたタペストリーともいえる書物、『火ノ刺繍』。特筆すべきは、本書のために書き下ろされた、詩篇「火ノ刺繍―永遠の旅人Afanassievに」(仏訳も収録)。声の「マ」から「魔」へ、吉増剛造の新たな次元を予感させる詩篇が奇蹟的に書かれたことで、このいまだかつてない“愛の書物”が誕生した。
