About the artwork

Two newly-created artworks staged at “Ryugakubo”, an illusory pond bearing various ryujin (dragon god) folktales. A video highlights how water from the Ryugakubo, which supplies water for daily life, is carried from one hand to the other to be poured into a barrel. The other work is an installation of a large barrel. Water flows along the inside of the barrel as people walk in, where they will also find words and stories associated with water.
