鎮守の杜
Chinju no mori (The Holy Forest)

現世と幽世の端境、そこは神域o神が棲む場所。巫女さえも履き物を脱ぎ素足でしか立ち入れない。深い深い巨木の森が、その聖域を守つている。

景というテーマでしたので、日本らしい緑豊かな森をモチーフにしました。


The borderline between this world and the afterlife is the realm of the gods. It is where the gods dwell. It is a place where even the shrine maidens remove their shoes to enter and walk barefoot. A deep forest of ancient trees protects this sacred ground.

The theme for this exhibition was a ‘Japanese scene’ so I used the typically Japanese motif of a green forest.
