NATURE WINDOW

A Coastal City’s Natural Charm on Display

NATURE WINDOW is an interactive gallery affiliated with Hoshino Resorts’ RISONARE Atami, a hotel located in the hills of Atami, a seaside city in Shizuoka Prefecture southwest of Tokyo. Atami boasts beaches and forests in close proximity to one another, and is home to a unique natural habitat and rich cultural history. Over 50 framed exhibits were created as a “window” into the region’s hidden natural charms.

熱海の高台に位置する「星野リゾート リゾナーレ熱海」内の体験型ギャラリー「NATURE WINDOW」の企画・総合ディレクション。海と森の距離が近く、独自性ある自然や文化の宝庫である熱海。自然の知られざる魅力と面白さを知るための“窓”として、額斑された50以上に及ぶアートワークを制作しました。

Background
Atami has a rare environment in which the ocean, forest, and human community all coexist in a small area. Focusing on the relationship between the three that have continued through its long history allows a deeper look into Atami’s unique charms.

Ocean
When seen straight-on, fish look very peculiar and interesting. The patterns of sea cucumbers are nature’s paintings. The turban shell creates a graphic pattern. Even pressed seaweed shows beautiful color and shape.

Forest
The forest’s power seen in the skin and cross section of the camphor tree, a sacred tree to the area, as well as the diversity of the citrus and other flora and fauna, are all part of the rich natural beauty of the Atami area.
