Shin-shin San-san 2026 Event Confirmed

Since when did we begin to view nature from afar, protect it, and utilize it, standing outside of it?

Now, let's reconsider the relationship between nature and humanity.

In the forest, countless worlds invisible to the eye breathe.

Its presence manifests as sounds, smells, light, wind, footprints, and fragments of memory, drifting between us and nature as a "presence," and suddenly touching our senses.

It's still invisible. It's beyond words. We don't understand it. But it's definitely there.

Listen to the atmosphere, walk the land, experience the culture and nature, feel, investigate, create, and talk.

Through such diverse forms of "expression," we aim to connect people with nature, people with people, and countless worlds.

If we can weave a new relationship in between.

Shin-shin San-san ̶

It is a celebration of expression that, through our art, illuminates the vibrant atmosphere of this land, creating playfulness and subtle fluctuations between people and nature. The driving force is our curiosity.

And this also begins in the forests of Nishiawakura, the source of the water that flows into the Seto Inland Sea.

This is also a new cultural practice that combines nature, expression, and science.

From "viewer" to "expresser" of the place.

A celebration of the presence and expression of the world, a forest of brilliance
