Message

Spring is the beginning story. The spring version was filmed at the Iwatsuki Old Folk Culture Center, which was also the venue for the last Saitama Triennale 2016. Even now, in spring, weeping cherry trees are in bloom.
We decided to start the story of “Saitama Triennale 2020” from the previous venue. The spring when the memories of that time suddenly appear and the feeling of the beginning is felt. The future of the art festival to be held next spring and the 2016 venue intersect with a cherry blossom and a piano, and the moment of rising as a landscape, and the sound of life that can be heard. The season will move to summer, autumn, and winter, and I want to bring out various landscapes of Shitama.
