紙と光、陰、影について考える一端になりそうです。

杉本博司 『空間感』p127より抜粋
"茶室では光は弱められ、濾過され、闇と明かりの中間状態が生み出される。障子に使われる紙は、外景を遮断はするが、気配を断ち切ることはない。雲が日の光をさえぎる気配、風が露地を吹き抜ける気配、そうした気配は薄い紙で隠されることによって、より確かな存在感を得る。"
Although I am afraid to quote this beautiful writing by Hiroshi Sugimoto with my poor translation, I think it is worth to try out as it was so inspiring for me to think about how paper can work with light/darkness.
"Daylight is tamed and filtered inside of a Japanese tearoom, thus intermediate condition between light and darkness is able to be created. The paper used for Shouji (paper screens) blocks the scenery outside, but it does not cut off the sense of its presence, for example the atmosphere of cloud cutting the sun light or breeze running through a tea garden. Once the outlook is covered with the thin paper, it will even ensure the sense of presence.
