The material Azuma used for the exhibition "TOKYO FIBER ’09 SENSEWARE", showcasing creativity using Japanese artificial fiber technology, was terramac (by Unitika, Ltd.). Azuma arranged moss in biodegradable terramac that would return to soil. The greenness of the moss looked attractive because the exhibition floors, both in Milan and Tokyo, were based on really fastidious whiteness. The moss on an artificial fiber grows up during the session by being moistened. I remember the amazing world which was like a microcosm in the part of a vast wetland. It is a work enabled by new technology and material, of which great developments are expected inthe future.
