Fumiaki Nagashima and Mami Nagashima Maruoka of Japanese architectural design studio 'MoNo' present their installation titled, 'Shining Tree in a Sacred Place' which pays tribute to the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake and consequent tsunami in early 2011. The installation was erected at the Oshioi Shrine located in Shiga, Japan.
MoNo describes their installation as follows: "This art work was dedicated to the people who had passed away in several disasters in this year 2011. Especially in Japan, the massive earthquake hit this country land with the huge tsunami so much that considerable damage and profound sorrow came to us. MoNo had the opportunity to join the illumination event “Kusatsu Machiakari Yumeakari Hanaakari – on autumnal Kusatsu road with sensory gratification”, which got over 30 thousands visitors. So MoNo could open our work as one of programs of “Akari Art Exhibition” which were held in some historic shrines and temples."
