The Bokuto area (the northeastern part of Tokyo’s Sumida City), where many artists still live as a result of a resident-led art project in the 2000s, provides the setting for this project, an attempt to create a learning forum to foster the creativity required for living a spiritually enriched life through encounters between local people, artists and researchers. Through insights gleaned from dialogue with others, participants will continue to broaden their imagination, and prepare small experiments to deconstruct their own conventional wisdom and sense of what is “ordinary.”
