Light, sound and scent

Water droplets falling from a beautiful stained glass. This is the source of the sound.

Water droplets at the moment of splashing

Looking up from below, it looks like this

Art Garden" opened on October 4th. As I walked around this place, I found a mysterious white square building.
Looking closer, the caption says "Folly of light, sound and scent." Looking around, there is only one entrance, which is about 1m high.

When I sat down at the entrance and looked inside, there was no light and the stained glass was set in the ceiling, and water droplets were falling from the center.
And there are stones and glass on the floor where it fell. I kept looking at the water droplets that were splashing here, thinking that they were beautiful, and this time I heard a "sound."
It's not a "pichon" sound, it's not a "khan". However, the sound will reverberate for a certain period of time.
I was curious, and this time I went inside. Then I noticed that there was a nice scent in this building. Not too weak, not too strong. A scent that casually floats in the inhaled air.


If you read the caption outside,
"It's a fantastic space with the scent of Japanese tradition Suikinkutsu and European tradition of stained glass and herbs."
It is written as. Suikinkutsu has a bottle with a small hole in the bottom buried in the soil to store water. The water dripping there echoes in the upside-down bottle and makes a koto-like sound, making it a traditional Japanese garden.

A white space illuminated by the blue light shining through the stained glass, and the sound and pleasant scent that spreads in it. All of them are more beautiful than beautiful. When I suddenly noticed and looked at the clock, about 20 minutes had passed.

This new Art Garden has several follies that have their own meaning. Today, I introduced you to a fantastic space that will give you healing. I will introduce other folly at another time, but it may be good to experience it for yourself first.
