In the attic space of Shunyoin Temple, a calm and relaxing atmosphere prevails despite being part of the temple grounds. The warm tones of the wooden flooring, the influx of natural light, and the gentle breeze when the windows are open create a serene ambiance. I arranged this space by displaying my own creations and personal collections, hoping that visitors would also feel this atmosphere. I hope that people will feel free to lie down, occasionally open a book or drawer, and enjoy the artwork while listening to the sounds of birds and insects.
