What is the "Sea of Time - Tohoku" project?
This art project is created by contemporary artist Tatsuo Miyajima, known for his digital counter artworks, based on the concepts of "it constantly changes," "it connects with everything," and "it continues forever." It is a collaborative effort with the people living in Tohoku and those who care about Tohoku, with the wish to commemorate the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake, preserve the memory of the disaster, and collectively build the future of Tohoku.
The artwork, which is envisioned to have 3,000 digital counters counting from "9 to 1" installed in a large shallow basin of water, involves 3,000 people, with each participant setting the speed at which their LED number counts to their desired time. Since 2016, workshops have been held mainly in Tohoku and across Japan, engaging with participants. As of February 28, 2025, the total number of participants has reached 2,779. Currently, the site for the (tentative) Museum of the Sea of Time - Tohoku, where the artwork will be permanently installed in Tomioka Town, Fukushima Prefecture, has been decided, and activities are ongoing with the goal of completion in 2027.
