about

This is one of my favourite recordings because it exemplifies me as the ignorant foreigner. It’s of a prayer I made at a Shinto shrine and, though I asked a passer-by for instructions beforehand, the whole process went about as smoothly as sandpaper. Firstly, I let the water used for washing your hands to drip back in to the basin when it’s supposed to just fall onto the floor. I then fumble with the currency that I was still unused to for an uncomfortably long time, before accidentally kicking the offerings box at the top of the steps leading up to the shrine. Even the way I ring the bell sounds entirely graceless and undignified.
