About the artwork

Spend time with the changing ‘river’
‘The wiggly river becomes a tunnel or a table.’ The cross-point between a museum and a spa explores how to enjoy it as a chill-out room. ‘Living creatures have gathered in the river since ancient times, and civilisation begins’ (artist’s comment). The ‘river’ created by the two artists is installed in Akashi no Yu. A place where visitors can experience it while staying there will be developed.
