《Seijima project "SAY YES"》See the Sea, See the Mountain
Area：Fomer Sei junior high school

〈Artist comment〉
Rounded, bumpy hills are scattered across the plain. As you follow them into the distance, they eventually become islands, and before you know it, you're seeing the sea. The islands, which seem to float gently, gradually transform into mountain ridgelines—and without realizing it, you're seeing mountains.

The Kozai Sea Bream Fishing Ground Map, which depicts Seijima Island, is a fishermen’s map connecting lines between mountains—Tateyama (Vertical Mountain) and Yokoyama (Horizontal Mountain)—and islands.
When I saw this, I decided to draw a current map of Seijima, which is now connected to the mainland by asphalt.

《Peering into the Seabed》
Area：Shamijima

An installation evoking island scenery and history. Long ago, the five Yoshima islands were one land mass. With the formation of the Seto Inland Sea, the low-lying areas filled with water, leaving the hilltops as five distinct islands. Inside a beach house, sand, video images, and rising and ebbing water have been used to reproduce the changing landscape of the Seto Inland Sea. The work is a sensitive portrayal of the Setouchi landscape as an extension of the sea's history.
