“Kokoro” by Jean-Michel Othoniel was installed at the entrance of Hara Museum ARC.
Visitors enter the museum after walking through this 3.15-meter high work made of red Murano glass.
It matches with the blue color of the sky and the black color of the museum building.
From certain angles, it looks like a large heart.
On September 12, we had a reception in the presence of the artist and a cultural attache of the French Embassy.
↓“kagami-biraki” ceremony–the breaking open of a barrel of sake–using local sake to celebrate this auspicious occasion.
