The world expanded from one knife

I have taken part in to project which make cutlery from hone of deer.

Why, and from when did human take foods with tools? Its roots are wood, stone, bone... materials were differed in regions. However, commonly it beginning is knife. Sharp edge have derived to spoons, chopsticks, forks and other many function.

In ancient painting, I could find when and where knives, spoons, and forks have begun to be used. The paints show us human activity and thought in that age. Movement of human transport things and culture like flow of blood.

In order to see famous knives, I have been to Laguiole, France.

Laguiole has been famous for grazing sheep. Since they made the knives to protect themselves from bandit on the way to Paris, Laguiole become remarkable knives maker.

The will to go to somewhere, to do something would cause huge changes in people, culture, and society.

What I have felt in France at a glance is differences of atmosphere. I have been freed from breathlessness and obstruction. Moreover, Paris people enjoy their lives.

Towns were beautiful and valuable as artistic work but it is more functional than that.

The solemnity of church, cathedral and domes were made from elaborate calculation such as how incorporate light from outside. From this experience, I could find Gods would be contracted by power of human.  By through this journey, I found a lot of places I would like to be.

The start is from just a knife. It lead curiosity to paintings, religions, and others. This is how I expand my world.
