Asaichi project, by Kyoko Yamakawa, connects urban life and rural life of farmers through a dining table. A video table, which was installed at a cafe restaurant called etw in Kyoto, shows video clips of farmers who produced the food while a customer is eating it at the table.
Yamakawa purchased fresh vegetables at farmers’ market in the town of Kizu and provided them to the cafe restaurant. When a customer eats special dishes made from the vegetables at the table, it shows interview video clips of the farmers who sold the vegetables at the market.
The same was done at Tramonto, another restaurant in Kyoto.
