Title：Noto is kind, even its soil
作品プラン
在原為計程車公司營業所2樓，展示以奧能登的土壤為主題的作品。藝術家以珠洲的土壤為契機展開創作。收集了諸多地區的土壤，他將這些顏色稱為彩虹色。將各地取得的土壤填入地圖中，襯托奧能登、珠洲擁有的土壤顏色。
A work about the soil of Oku-Noto is presented on the second floor of former taxi company’s office. The soil of Suzu inspired Kurita’s creation. Having collected many samples of earth, he remarks that its colors are a rainbow. Putting soil from various places on a map, he brings the subterranean colors of Oku-Noto and Suzu to light.

1962年出生於山梨縣。1986年開始踏上旅程，遍足於亞洲、非洲、中南美。從1990年左右開始著眼於脚下的土壤沉靜的美麗，開始了日本列島全域土壤採集之旅。到2017年終於完成了所有市町村的採集。從2004年開始，在法國也開始進行了土壤採集並發表作品。透過土壤的觀點來發掘出「世界多樣性」的趣味所在是他的藝術表現的根本。

Born in Yamanashi in 1962. Since 1986 he has traveled to Asia, Africa and Central-South America. From around 1990, he has noticed the beauty of the soil under his feet and began collecting soil from all over the Japanese archipelago. By 2017, he had completed his collection in all municipalities. Since 2004, he has been collecting soil and exhibiting his works in France. The basis of his expression is to bring out the fun of "the diversity of the world" through his perspective of soil.
