I discovered that paper and autumn leaves are similar in the nature
of their pliability and texture, so I made autumn leaves out of paper.
By just looking at the zabuton you get the sensation of gathering
autumn leaves and the way it feels to sit on a pile of them.

In the long process of making all of those leaves one at a time,
my hands started looking to me like leaves.
I got a weird mental picture of hundreds of hands falling fromm a tree.
