“88 Steps on Cultivating Our own Rice”,
A Japanese Wrapping Cloth by Lo Lai Lai Natalie

The well-known “Half Farmer/Half X” advocate Naoki Shiomi has
pointed out that hidden in the Chinese character for “rice” is the number
88. From this, he concluded that, “The process of rice cultivation is88 steps—and not easy ones.”
Perhaps these 88 images are not representative of a particularly strict set of rules, but more a story of cultivation, fragments of a planting process where we may encounter a different set of 88 steps every time.
The accompanying furushiki cloth has been hand-silkscreened in
duotone colors to indicate the (as of August 2015) uncompleted steps of Sangwoodgoon farm’s organic rice experiment

experimental, community-based urban farming, such as an autumn edible harvest workshop, planter-building lessons, seed-bombing with student groups, documentation of both the farm and HK’s
farming protagonists, a talk-to-your-plants and plant selfie booth, a winter discussion and finally
