“Kokkuri-san*” Drawing
（OKAMOTO Nakako,IKEDA Shin）
The “value” and “spirit” carried by money are similar in their ways of being. What they have in common is that they are invisible and supported by people's trust. It seems to me that Kokkuri-san*, that invokes spirits with a ten-yen coin, is being ironic about that.
The current 10-yen coin has been in circulation for more than 70 years, so many people have probably experienced the “Kokkuri-san”。The ten-yen coin in our wallets today may also contain the residue of a “spirit” in addition to its “value.
A 10-yen coin is highly conductive, and humans are also said to be slightly electrically charged. If two people touch a 10-yen coin at the same time, a magnetic field should be generated there.
Value, Spirit, and Magnetic Fields. ...... Every day we live in communion with unseen forces.
*Cokkuri-san is a Japanese spiritual ritual where participants communicate with spirits. Place our fingers on a 10-yen coin or board and it moves across a board to answers.
