FRONT LOBBY

An artwork themed around a Japanese idiom that translates to “standing, she is a Chinese peony; sitting, a tree peony; when walking, a lily,” which expresses the beauty of a woman’s behavior. Originally referring to the use of medicinal herbs, this phrase has been uniquely interpreted in Japan, adding a layer of interest that warmly welcomes visitors with its elegance.

Water, boats, lodgings, storehouses, food... These are the sights and experiences that visitors to Shiomi encounter.
They collect the Chinese characters that represent these things and trace their roots.
The works were created hoping that these ancient cryptic characters will catalyze communication at the hotel's reception, a place of exchange.
