Concept
A public art project featuring a moonlit scene in Takanawa, using tatami mats for moon viewing.
As an opening event for the Moon-Waiting Month, a new moon-themed tatami mat will be unveiled at "Tatami," an exhibition space based on the concept of traditional Japanese culture. The moon-viewing tatami mat depicts the traditional Seigaiha pattern, representing ocean waves, and the "moon of the 26th night." At Venue, the production process by tatami craftsman Kenji Yamada, who creates highly designed tatami mats aiming to fuse traditional culture with new technology, will be made public, and some participatory content is also planned. Enjoy the moment when the moonlit scenery of Takanawa in the past is revived on the new tatami mat.
