EXPO 2005 Aichi, Japan Seto Japan Pavilion

The "wisdom, skill, and spirit" of the Japanese people have been born from the connection between nature and humanity. The museum's displays spaces on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th floors are designed to stimulate the imagination and evoke nostalgic memories of being Japanese, using a variety of artistic expressions and structured to be experienced with all five senses. 1st Floor Prologue... In a space reminiscent of a house, the original landscape of daily life is expressed in all directions through light, sound, and video, inviting you on a journey to rediscover the origins of Japan. 2nd Floor Choral Recitation Epic Drama "A Single Seed"... The children's songs and festival chants that the Japanese people have had since ancient times are imbued with words of wisdom nurtured in harmony with nature. The audience seats are arranged around the central stage, and numerous performers surround them. This space is a dramatic space where the movements, words, sounds, videos, and lighting of the many performers harmonize. 4th Floor Art Gallery "Garden of Light and Wind"... This is an installation space that gives form to the shapes of nature and the way of life with nature as captured by two artists. By drawing out the inherent power of the materials, we create a sense of dynamism in space and time, encompassing stillness and movement, light and shadow.
