Water runs in the 25-meter-long “river” embedded in plywood. Along the river are dozens of sculptures based on Yu Hara’s illustrations – household items, buildings, animals – as well as functioning fountains, mills and Shishi-odoshi (a water-driven bamboo clapper) forming a village scape. Viewers are invited to make a boat with stylofoam and straws and set it adrift in the river.
