Kyoto Prefecture creates new opportunities for visitors to explore local culture, by promoting multiple projects that increase tourism and stimulate the local economy. One such project, the digital art project, “Artspace of the Light.” Combining high-technology and local culture, this project is a digital art space woven into some of the country’s most famous cultural heritage locations, themselves set among wondrous natural landscapes. In 2019, Amanohashidate, one of Japan’s “three most scenic spots,” featured such a project called “The way goes from ancient to the future,” which used light, moving image, and sound to create a fantastical experience.

According to legend, Amanohashidate is the place where the country of Japan was born. In the legend, light plays an important role. In “The way goes from ancient to the future”, this story indicated that the “light” of Amanohashidate exists as a symbol of hope, even though it is not visible to us. The internationally known media artists Hiroaki Umeda and NONOTAK represented artworks called “The Light Path” and “The Sea of the Lights” at the approach to Motoise Kono Shrine, one of Amanohashidate’s sacred places. The approach to the shrine and the gate was used as a stage. NONOTAK showed a special live performance and moshimoss created a layered ambient atmosphere through lyrical and nostalgic soundscapes.

Installation & Live performance NONOTAK

They presented their first audiovisual installation at the Mapping Festival in may 2013. In summer 2013, NONOTAK come up with a performance, LATE SPECULATION, where they are the creators and contents of the project.

Work of Seiichi Saito | Rhizomatiks Architecture
JIKU #003 AMANOHASHIDATE
11月9日[土] 〜 11月10日[日] 17:20 〜 21:00
A site-specific artwork series, “JIKU” explores the hidden axis within places, using light and sound to illuminate the invisible. By connecting Nariai-ji Temple and Chion-ji Temple—located on opposite sides of Amanohashidate—with light, the artist Seiichi SAITO depicted the origin of Amanohashidate. There are several Japanese myths, and in one of these, Amanohashidate was created by two gods, Izanagi and Izanami, after stirring the tides with a giant spear called Amenonuhoko. The artwork used two light conversations to show the relationship between two elements, such as the sky and the earth, and the two stories about Nariai-ji Temple and Chion-ji Temple.
