EVENT – Burning Japan 2019

ART THEME : Hidden World

Do you know Hidden World?

As the name implies, it is a hidden world.

A fairy tale picture book I read when I was little.
An unforgettable song I heard hundreds of times.
The words left by the philosophers of BC.
A place where the river was born, where I always go for a walk.

There are innumerable entrances, but you can not see them.

Want to go?

Let me tell you.
What we are looking for can be found very close.

Do not be fooled by theories or customs, look at expressions that come from within you.
Don’t calculate others for profit, but help and acknowledge each other.
It is the key to open the door of the hidden world that you have forgotten in everyday life.

3 days in SKY ISLAND.
A lot of people come with the key to Hidden World.
Through lots of expressions, lots of stories, and shadows swaying in the glowing lights, the invisible outlines of Hidden World will somehow become visible.

First timer

Burning Japan is going to be held at a farm, not a camping ground. You need to bring everything you need for survival and that is hard for first timers. Especially for those who are not living in Japan. Please stand by for First timers’ guide in English.

Art & Performance

Art and Performance flourish during Burning Japan. Making the best effort to make great art is the most respected act of gifting. When you have an art project, larger than your campsite and willing to place it away from your camp, you can reserve a spot by submitting a form.
