It is resembling Ranma, which is designed as a decoration and spacial dividing in Japanese houses, to the perspective of a ‘garden’ by laying it on a flat. A landscape of pine, bamboo and plum trees with large chrysanthemum flowers appears. By placing each piece in a hierarchical arrangement, imagine a hanging garden, and the shelf as a structure as if it can be viewed from a bird’s eye. By replacing it with a Miniature Garden perspective, it intended to confront the old Japanese decorative culture, which cannot be seen in modern life, with a new attitude.
