Main artwork

A Thousand Faces of the Moon

📍 On the rooftop of Higashikitazawa Station (Outside the ticket gates)

Although there is only one moon, the side visible to us—and the patterns we see—differ depending on the region. Beyond that, I felt that the moon might take on a different significance depending on the viewer's circumstances, environment, or timing; this inspired me to create a wide variety of moons.

Please feel free to touch, roll, or take photos of these moon balls. It is only natural for people to hold diverse perceptions and values regarding a single object, and I hope this project prompts the question: how do we enjoy that situation? During the exhibition, I will also host a silkscreen printing workshop featuring moon motifs. Silkscreening allows participants to take their own moon home, and I believe the process pairs well with the character of this neighborhood, known for its vintage clothing shops.
