Titled "Lullaby of One Million Years," this exhibition is the first phase of a project to invite contemporary artists to the Hoko region. The art unit "KyunChome," responsible for the works, attended the opening, describing Lake Biwa as a place where love circulates, having received it through the miraculous journey of water. The exhibition spans three traditional houses in Takashima, featuring works like "Stone that Fits the Navel," which symbolizes reconnecting with the world, and video pieces expressing prayers through bubbles and sound.
