ARTWORKS

Forest and Spiral of Resonating Lamps: One Stroke - Fire

This artwork, in which lamps are seemingly scattered in a random manner, is composed of resonating light that changes based on the relationship between the people in the artwork space. It is a work that expresses the beauty of continuity.When a person stands close to a lamp, it shines brightly and emits a sound. The light spreads to the closest lamps, propagating their light to the lamps nearest to them. The light continues to flow to the closest lamp, passing through each lamp once, creating a single light trajectory that passes through all the lamps. The light created by your presence and the light created by the presence of others, will always intersect.The seemingly random arrangement of the lamps is an arrangement in which the light produced by the presence of people is always continuous, and is an arrangement created for the beauty of the continuity itself.Specifically, the lamps are mathematically arranged in space so that when a line is drawn from each lamp to the closest lamp in three dimensions, it forms a single connected line (unicursal) with the same start and end points, that line becomes the trajectory of light that is beautiful.As a result, the lamp light triggered by a person’s presence will, regardless of the fact that it is only spreading to the closest lamps, always pass through each lamp only once, as if it were a single stroke. It then intersects with the light created by other people in the same space at the same time, and ultimately returns to the original lamp that was the starting point. This artwork represents the l continuity of light as people freely interact with the lamps.

ABOUT EN TEA

about画像
"EN TEA" is a new tea grown in Hizen.
"EN TEA" is a new tea grown in Hizen.
EN TEA was created as a result of a collaboration between Shunichi Matsuo, a talented young tea master, and Maruwakaya, a brand that looks into Japanese traditional culture and brings together numerous artisans.

In Japan, there is a saying: "People are born from the soil, they are the children of soil."
In growing great food products, people think about taking care of the soil first, and start by creating the soil. We got to know the amazing effects and benefits of green tea ingredients, and packed all of that into 1 tea leaf. That tea is EN TEA. It started with us wanting to share this tea leaf with the important people close to us, and now we want to share it with many more people.

We value the taste of the region, in other words, the power of nature, in the EN TEA tea leaf. We only use natural farming methods in our tea farm and during processing. As a result of our pursuit for the best tea, we developed our own production method. The new tea, developed in this way, has robust natural flavors, which will remind you of the fact that teas started as medicine (herbal medicine).

EN TEA was created from our passion for a healthy lifestyle and nature-loving culture.
