A narrow path of safety extending through the gloom, its edges bleeding into the fearful zones of disorder and formlessness that enclose it. Paths create borders, they limn the known from the unknown, the clean from the unclean, the citizen from the exile, the present from the past. But while paths create boundaries, they themselves are ambivalent, neither here nor there, neither now nor then. The act of making a path where none existed always involves the subjugation of the unknown and formless, the demonstration of human will. In ancient age, when the people take a trip to the land of unknown clan they walked with the enemy‘s head as amulet. Sachiko invokes ritual from voice, instrument and magic, expressing the entity of the next world at the boundary.
