Yakushiji Hikari Emaki
Commemorating the 1,300th anniversary of Nara Heijo-kyo Capital, JTQ produced a spectacular installation at Yakushiji Temple’s east hall, Toindo. The hall was filled with the reproduction of starry sky of 1,300 years ago using the most advanced planetarium projector. Together with the three-dimensional sound system, the installation entitled ‘Hikari - Emaki’ recreated an ethereal optical universe in Toindo. We hoped visitors to feel the mind of ‘Kuu’ ('Emptiness' in Japanese) and reflect on the temple’s history and the time it has come through while gazing up the same sky as our predecessors looked up in the ancient time.
