A Quiet Encounter

The contemplative spirit of Ireland meets the aesthetic consciousness of Japan.

Permanence meets impermanence.

Light meets shadow.

Silence takes form.

A Timeless Form of Prayer

The sutra cylinders, imbued with the prayers of the Heian period, transcend a thousand years of silence to find new life within the serene spaces woven by Tadao Ando.

Here, they are no longer mere relics of history. Guided by light and shadow, they stand as timeless presences, quietly revealing a universal beauty that speaks as profoundly to contemporary art as it does to the distant past.

When the prayers of a millennium ago resonate with architecture, the boundaries between past and present dissolve. The sutra cylinders emerge once more—not as archaeological treasures alone, but as enduring works of art, carrying the spirit of eternity into our own time.

A beautiful resonance

Separated by distant ages and civilizations, they do not reject one another in their quiet silence; rather, they allow their respective scars and prayers to resonate together.

The passage of centuries inscribed in Roman stone and the spiritual depth dwelling within the Kamakura bodhisattva transcend nation and era, giving rise to a single, serene harmony.

A spirit ⁣
⁣
⁣Gen Saratani’s TAMA is written in Japanese with the character 魂, meaning “soul.”⁣
A soul is understood as that which dwells within a living body and governs the workings of the heart and mind. Since ancient times, it has been believed to endure beyond the body—an eternal and indestructible essence, a spirit.⁣
⁣
It is therefore deeply meaningful that the exhibition of TAMA will be held at YAMADART in Kanazawa, Ishikawa, in the Hokuriku region—one of Japan’s most renowned lands of lacquer.⁣
⁣
Formed through Saratani’s unique techniques using urushi, a material with a history spanning several millennia, the TAMA spheres possess a striking simplicity of form. Beyond their exquisite beauty, they hold a quiet yet powerful presence that captivates all who encounter them.⁣
⁣
The monumental work measuring 200 cm (79 inches) in diameter is truly breathtaking.⁣

Silent Resonance

Gen Saratani 𝘛𝘈𝘔𝘈 held at YAMADART in Kanazawa, Japan.

In Kanazawa, located in Japan’s Hokuriku region, a monumental KOTODAMA of 200 cm (79 inches) in diameter has emerged—an act that may be read as a profound challenge to the nine-thousand-year lineage of urushi lacquer.

KOTODAMA is defined as the quiet power of words to shape the world.

A landscape one could contemplate forever.

In what appears to be nothing more than simple white porcelain,
the shape Kuroda relentlessly sought reveals itself.
A quiet and profound beauty resides there.
