Editor's Note

It is the time when the petal of cherry blossoms began to scatter lies thick on the ground. On the floor of eN arts, there is also a "floating garden” that can also be viewable only this time; it is “a garden" as the maze of not cherry blossoms but salts crawling and extending on the ground. The form looks as a decorated pattern, a maze or a map. It causes us various memories and imaginations, forms a space that can be called a salt garden or a rock garden inviting us to mediation. You will be able to see his enhanced state by the exhibition in the underground, drawings, and the fist photograph works.
It seems to well-demonstrate the real value of his works more clearly in the space like this gallery which redecorated a Japanese house than a white cube spaces in the museums or galleries when looking back on Yamamoto's past works. The work draws close to the place, and the memory of the viewers and the season are ticking there. This exhibition is a garden worthy to enter the name to other great gardens in Kyoto.
