Synopsis:
Plants and flowers are reproduced by the wind blowing and by visiting insects who pollinate them.
It can be said that the Japanese Garden has evolved through cross pollination as well.
Shaped by traditional Japanese craftsmanship and mixed with the influences of foreign cultures,
they are an expression created by the coexistence and experience of the terrain and humankind.
Mirei Shigemori was a pioneer who rebirthed Japanese garden art.
He helped modernize Japanese Karesansui (stone) gardens, which had a decline in popularity
from the Taisho era to the Showa era, through incorporating contemporary art elements.
Shigemori was also a historian, architect, interior designer, poet, calligrapher, writer and landscape architect who practiced Japanese tea ceremony.
This documentary focuses on his art and also aims to look at the Japanese garden.
From a contemporary art perspective, told through the theme of stone, we will explore why the relationship
between stone and humans continues to resonate as an artistic expression.
By interviewing Mirei Shigemori's relatives, historians, artists, and scholars based on the archives,
I would like to create a piece that shows the synergistic effect of East and West that will hopefully educate
and elucidate the next generation and further inspire them.
日本人は自然との関係性をつかさどる儀式の長い歴史をもち、それらは芸術の中にも表現されてきました。
世界でも注目される日本の庭園文化は、未来へと進化を続け、永遠に生き続ける芸術であり、
20 世紀を代表する世界的アーティスト、イサム・ノグチ氏などにも大きな影響を与えたように、
さまざまな世界芸術としても生まれ変わっています。
このドキュメンタリー動画は『石』をテーマに、日本庭園（枯山水や石庭）に現代的芸術要素を加えモダン化させた
重森三玲氏：史学者、建築家、詩人、茶人、書家、作家、華道、作庭家に焦点をおき、日本美術、風土を現代からの視線で考え、
世界に発信することを目的とします。
室町時代の作とされる枯山水・龍安寺庭園にもみられるような、石と人間との関係性。そこにはなぜ芸術表現が求められてきたのか。
残されたアーカイブスを元に、芸術家、歴史家、学者、重森三玲氏の親族、へのインタビューで構成し、
人間と自然の関係性を芸術として表現することについて探ります。
