Human and Nature, Past and Present

​

In ancient times, humans observed and followed the patterns with awe. This is a relationship familiar to Japanese designers, who have always been thinking about how we perceive nature as part of nature itself. This approach can be seen in works from classical zen gardens, to the recently popular teamLab installations.
