Magoko encounter
Mitsukoshi Store, Tokyo. 2024.
Close up of the sculptures, Tokyo 24.
Magokoro (sincerity) is a 11 meters towerin tennyo (deity), from kyoto 500 years-old cypress and finished with clay piments, gold, platinum and jewels (12,000 including diamond, jade and agate). It took 10 years to complete.
Up close, the work becomes texture: wood grain, reflective points of light, and details that only appear when you slow down.
