To Watch a Rock Grow: Ikigai とIchigo Ichie

An artistic expression of the natural world featuring over 2000 hand formed ceramic cherry blossoms, ceramic rocks, とbirds to create unique reflective moments...

The purpose of our installation is to create an inclusive space for people to reflect on their ikigai (reason for living or purpose). We encourage people to visit the space more than once, at different times on different days, by themselves and with others. This reflects the idea of ichigo ichie, which encourages people to be fully present and cherish each unique moment and encounter, as it will never happen again. Every experience, from a grand event to a simple conversation, is a precious and singular treasure deserving of complete attention and appreciation.
