奈良は、日本書記に飛鳥時代より薬猟がされたと記述があり、古くからそして今も薬やその原料の生産が盛んな土地です。そこで今回は、薬をキーワードに植物を集めました、漢方薬の生薬となるもの、民間薬として使われてきたもの、また植物に含まれる単一の薬効成分が生成され医薬品の原料となったもの(例:アスピリンはヤナギから)。遠く原始の時代より薬効という恩恵を我々に与えてきたそのような植物たちが作品となりました。

Nara has long been and still is, a land of active production of medicines and their raw materials, with the Asuka period
(710-794) describing medicinal hunting in Nara. During this time, I have collected plants with the keyword 'medicine, those that are herbal medicines, and those that have been used as folk medicine.
Also, a single medicinal ingredient in a plant is produced and made into a pharmaceutical product (e.g. aspirin is from willow). These plants, which have provided us with medicinal benefits since the distant primitive times, have become the subject of this artwork.
