Inochi (Life)

“Inochi (Life)” is a piece using the newly carved woodblock “Omoi no Take Meguru Tsuki (The Moon Traveling Through the Bamboo Forest of Feelings)” created in collaboration with the RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto as part of the 100 Patterns of Heisei and Reiwa project to commemorate the hotel’s 50th anniversary of opening. It is an artwork displayed in the entrance hall to pray for the happiness of guests of the hotel.
