The Miho Museum is about an hour out of Kyoto. It's worth the trip. The building is designed by I M Pei, the funding for the museum came from a spiritual movement, Shinji Shumeikai founded by Mihoko Koyama, an incredibly wealthy textile heiress. But that is information.
This is about sensation. It is a beautiful day, the leaves are beginning to turn. They hold the promise of more vivd color. It is a hopeful day. The way the circles of window or opening tunnel plays with inside/outside of whatever is inside or outside but are inescapably yoked together (google the phrase ichi-soto). That idea is imparted to the viewer at the behest of the foundation. Again information. I humbly submit a photo essay that attempts to impart this concept.
The entrance door opens and closes the circle
You walk to the back of the lobby and see a beautiful landscape that transcends inside or outside.
You are beyond a definition of inside or outside space.
