Kenninji Temple in Kyoto introduces artificial sea of clouds system for nighttime viewing Ikeuchi
Ikeuchi (Osaka City) has delivered an artificial sea of clouds (sea of clouds system) to Kenninji Temple (Kyoto City) for nighttime viewing, which has been held since Friday, August 2nd.
Kenninji Temple is the oldest Zen temple in Kyoto. The solemn and profound space is mixed with sound, light, and artificial fog to provide visitors with not only the beauty of art, but also a deeper experience of “returning to your true self,” which is the spirit of Zen.
This event is an experiential sound art night event where “neuromusic,” developed by brain science startup VIE, which reproduces the “totono” state of sauna with music, is placed in the corridors of Kenninji Temple, and visitors are exposed to music that tones the brain while touring the art space created by light and sea of clouds. As the sun sets and the illuminations come to life, you’ll escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and be reminded only of neuromusic, light, and the sea of clouds.
The event will run until September 22nd, from 7pm to 9:30pm.
