Saito Takako, Chess Set Known especially for her special chess sets and performance silent music, Saito Takako was also a member of the Fluxus movement of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Her famous spice chess invention removed the typical pieces of the game and replaced them with spices, such as “knights made of ginger.” This meant a player of spice chess had to begin to memorize the smells of each piece before playing. Similar to her other variations on the subject of chess, her creations initiated that other senses of perception had to be rendered in order for a player to properly follow the rules of the original game, or to be able to recognize or indulge in a particular experience wholly. via/japanobjects -- source link
