Relation—Garden of Time

Tatsuo Kawaguchi has pondered the relationship between matter and things unseen, like time and language. He buried one bronze cane in the turnaround plaza near the ACAC entrance and one more in the small plaza to the side of the water terrace. This was in order to feel Jomon time accumulated deep under the surface. A bronze poem was etched into the concrete wall in the turnaround plaza, and bird houses and bronze rings were hung on seven trees in the “Garden of Time” and an acryl staircase installed. Each is a dedication to the past, present, and future of time.
