About This Item
Oakland, California:: Moshi-Moshi Press,, 2006.. Edition of 20 in English, 10 in French, and 10 in Italian. 4.75 x 7"; 16 8-page booklets housed in a plexiglas box designed by the artist. Digital print on vellum paper. The origami structures are constructed from organdi and tea chest papers. Seiko Tachibana from the Colophon: Letter in the Wind is a book about poetrythe poetry of language itself. There is a familiar Japanese phrase, which literally translated become I heard it from a letter in the wind.
More precisely, the phrase means the wind delivered a message to me, or as the common English saying goes, a little bird told me. This book is comprised of 16 Japanese words, each realized in the form of a card. These 16 words are themselves constructed from two separate words: the Japanese word for wind and one other word, which when combined create an entirely new term whose meaning relates in some way to the wind. Wind + taste = savor; wind + boat = balloon. Each booklet focuses on one word/word combination; five booklets incorporate illustrative origami.
