Tofuku-ji Temple, Hojo Garden – “Hassō-no-niwa,” West Garden (Inada-ichimatsu)

Concept

The Inada-ichimatsu patterned garden is said to symbolize the shapes of ancient rice fields, representing water, the source of life, and abundance. I layered this symbolism with the precise arrangements of electronic circuits, expressing it through Pixel Montage. The lattice-like order fuses with the garden’s symbolism, creating a landscape where the Zen spirit intersects with the rhythms of modern urbanity. It is a new interpretation of the “Zen Garden,” bridging tradition and the future.
