Landscape Art

初めてこの地を訪れた時には未だ手付かずの森だった。そこで「森の棲家」というコンセプトを与え、五感で森を感じる装置を施設内に点在させた。森への入り口に開かないドアを設けたり、伐採された欅を石に埋め込んでベンチにしたり、外に香る花木を植え、ガラス面に小さな扉を付けてみたり。みかんの木には階段を設けて誰でも食べれる様にした。私たちはこの自然に生かされているということを日々の暮らしの中で忘れない様に。

When I first explored the area, it remained an untouched forest. Inspired by this, we envisioned a “forest sanctuary” and adorned the facility with elements designed to engage all five senses of our visitors. At the forest entrance, we installed an unopenable door to evoke curiosity. A bench was crafted by embedding a felled zelkova tree into stone, while fragrant flowers and trees were planted nearby. A small door was affixed to a glass surface, adding a touch of whimsy. Additionally, we constructed a staircase leading to a tangerine tree, inviting everyone to enjoy its fruits. Our aim is to remind people in their everyday lives of our profound connection to nature, which sustains us.
