WHAT 這是什麼

The Met notes that Japanese dōtaku were buried singly, in pairs, or in groups at isolated hilltops, perhaps in rites linked with agricultural fertility. Later examples became thin-walled and would not have resonated well, suggesting that their ritual significance outlasted their practical function as bells.

WHY HERE 為什麼屬於底域的世界

一件以『鐘』為形的物件,最後可以不再以聲音為核心;人保留形制、改變用途,再把它埋入地景。

BLIND SPOT 補了哪一塊少看的視角

其具體儀式與象徵仍有推測性;不能把『農業豐穰』寫成所有銅鐸的確定單一用途。
