AWAYA

あわ屋
[ Japan ]

MESSAGE

The work will be titled “5-dimentional bath 2025 (tentative title)”. In a corner of a large old house in the town of Omi, a round bathtub (Goemon Bath) stands quietly and quietly like a time capsule that traps the air of ancient times, and we hope to create a space where visitors can experience the feeling of having suddenly wandered beyond dimensions, as if resetting the qualia of the five senses.
