At Tokyo Ginza Shiseido Building Show-window… The new era of Japan “Reiwa” is translated as “beautiful harmony” in English, and it means many people’s heart beautifully gather; that’s where cultures are born. Heading into the new era, different hopes and anticipations are weaved together. We designed the beautiful harmony and the energetic atmosphere of the city. It is a kinetic art where the motif scatters and forms again by the spinning force, all inside a kaleidoscopic space surrounded by mirrors. It uses the latest technology; a system where each sequence of the motors used in the artworks inside the display could be controlled by separately. It is truly a piece that incorporates current trends.
