Exhibited at Sarushima SENSE ISLAND: a deployable mikoshi (portable festival shrine) designed using origami geometry. Collaborators: Yoshihito Hasutani, Daichi Iijima, Tetsu Kimura, and four others.

The project reinterprets "matsuri" (festival) as "atsumari" (gathering) — an instinctive, physical mechanism for sharing sense and consciousness with others, drawing on the centrality and mobility of the traditional lantern and mikoshi. Photography: Tetsu Kimura.
