Sky Island, 2018. The phoenix and the people around it. Photograph by Kan Ikegami.
Venue
Tsumagoi Bokujo, Tsumagoi, Gunma
Dates
October 6–8

The first year at Tsumagoi Bokujo. A wooden temple was built, and both the phoenix and the temple burned.

Look up, and there is land above the sky you can see. Sky Island is a small floating island where people are born, live, and die, and the island is their whole world. For those three days everyone becomes a sky-dweller, feeling the sun and the stars with the whole body, and looking after one another, because selfishness cannot live in the sky.
