Ambient Weaving Collection
―― Textiles and its Environment(2023)

At "HaNT" in Marunouchi, Tokyo, six new works are unveiled to the public for the first time

The exhibition was held at "Have a Nice Tokyo!", a tourist communication center located in Marunouchi, Tokyo, which communicates the charm of Tokyo and Japan to workers and visitors in the Marunouchi area and tourists from both domestically and overseas.
At this exhibition, in addition to two works that received attention at overseas exhibitions and won the honorary award at the "STARTS Prize 2022", eight works were displayed, including six works of the prototype series Woven Prototypes (WP) that were unveiled to the public for the first time both domestically and overseas. From the works of Woven Prototypes, we presented prototypes incorporating new technical elements, such as "WP004 ", which allows for assembly in various shapes by incorporating a beam structure by weaving in carbon materials, and "WP007 ", a textile display that illuminates in a dot matrix shape by weaving an organic EL foil of weft yarn and a conductive yarn of warp yarn accurately.
