何度でも蘇る家
柱の6割以上が足元に深刻なダメージを受け、取り壊しの他方法がなさそうな見立ての家でしたが、比較的健康な腰上（屋根構造）を鑑みると、再生の方向でやってみることとなりました。
再生の初期過程では何度も自分たちの下した決断に疑問を持つ事がありましたが、工程が進み、屋根が塞がる頃には工事完了への道筋が少しずつ明確になっていきました。
調査段階ではおよそ想像もつかない新旧の部材のコントラストが形を表し始め、工事完了の際はこれまで見たこともない唯一無二の素朴ではありますが、個性を放つ美しい家へと蘇りました。
不確実性を受容し、携帯し続け、問いに答えのみを求めるのではなく問いとともに新たな視点を獲得し続けていく
「あらゆる物を見聞きし分かり、そして忘れず」
宮沢賢治の有名な書き殴りの一節ですが、ここでの「見聞きし分かり」というのは受容する力、許容する力のことなのかもしれません。
「そして忘れず」共にあり続ける事。
「問いを立てる」という人間の自然な姿勢、そして「問い」の形をうまく包み込んで持ち歩き少しでも安心を得られる方向へと向かって歩く。
A house that can be revived again and again
More than 60% of the pillars were seriously damaged at the base, and it looked like there was no other way to demolish the house, but considering that the roof structure was relatively healthy, we decided to try to revive it.
In the early stages of the restoration process, we often questioned the decision we had made, but as the process progressed and the roof was sealed, the path to completion of the work gradually became clearer.
The contrast between the old and new materials, which was almost unimaginable at the investigation stage, began to take shape, and when the work was completed, it was revived into a unique, simple, but beautiful house that exudes individuality.
Accept uncertainty, carry it with you, and continue to gain new perspectives along with the questions, rather than seeking only answers to questions
"See, hear, and understand everything, and never forget"
This is a famous passage from Kenji Miyazawa's scribbles, but "see, hear, and understand" here may refer to the power of acceptance and tolerance（negative capability）.
"And never forget" to continue to be together.
The natural human attitude of "asking questions" and the ability to skillfully wrap up and carry around the form of a "question" as we move towards a direction that will give us even a little peace of mind.
