A Space Connecting Fates
"FUTURE ENNICHI - Blessed Coincidence -" at Park HOMES EXPO 2014 is a "future festival" that reinterprets the beloved summer tradition of the ennicchi (traditional Japanese festival stalls) through the eyes of various artists.
The venue features newly interpreted stalls and games, along with numerous participatory artworks, offering a chance to experience mechanisms designed to foster connections between people.
Enjoy the "blessed coincidences" that arise from diverse encounters and dialogues, such as the connections forged by the artists, and those formed between artists and visitors.
