[The Four-Dimensional Pocket of Care] Fantasy Cane

When my grandfather with dementia goes for a walk,
he sometimes stops and pokes at the grass with his cane.

It's very dangerous
because there might be bugs or snakes.

But for my grandfather,
that is also part of the fun of a walk.

So, I tried imagining something like this.

When my grandfather tries to poke something with his cane,
the cane shrinks before it hits the grass.

He doesn't touch anything dangerous.

But,
this is a little unsatisfying.

Without the sensation of rustling the grass,
my grandfather's sense of adventure isn't satisfied.

This is where
the Fantasy Cane shows its true worth.

The Fantasy Cane
conveys the sight and feeling of rustling grass
to my grandfather.

In reality, he isn't touching anything.

But my grandfather's sense of adventure is satisfied.

.........Or so I imagine. Haha
