STONE PROJECT

Stones tell us the "dream traces" of our predecessors.
It is a visual that overwhelms the viewer with a strange stone that expresses the conflict that is contained in it,
and it still talks to us strongly.
The high masonry is also a symbol of authority, and the carved stone material surprises the viewer.
The bigger the dream and the stronger the passion of the stone, the more people will be attracted to it.
The Stone project evokes a new sense of self-presence by evoking Japanese tradition.
