綾野 月美(あやの つきみ)さんは2002年に大阪から生まれ故郷の徳島県三好市東祖谷(旧東祖谷山村名頃)に戻り、2003年からかかしを作り始めました。
農作業で蒔いた種を食べにくる鳥たちを追い払うために作り始めたかかしがきっかけだったそうです。
Valley of Dolls from Fritz Schumann on Vimeo.
Ayano Tsukimi (64) is living in Nagoro, a village in eastern Iya on Shikoku, one of the four main islands of Japan. Not many people are still living there. For those who die or move away, Ayano Tsukimi is making lifesized dolls in their liking and puts them in places that were important to them. The dolls are scattered around the whole valley.
She is married, but her husband and daughter are living away from her in Osaka. She’s living alone with her 83 year old father in the house of her family.
ユニークであり、どことなく寂しげでもあります。
