About the art suite

A "juzu" is a small, perforated bead with a thread threaded through it to form a loop, and is worn over the hands when worshipping the Buddha. Originally, it was used as a tool to count the number of times a sutra was recited.

The word "juza-tsunagi" is associated with these beads. It is a word that describes how something is connected, just like the beads. It also means not only a connection between people, but something shared, like a connection of the heart.

The dreams and imaginations of the people who stay in this room grow and fill the space with a series of "juzu". We hope that this room will be a place that will embrace them, and connect them with other people.
