My irises, my forest, my eternity...
A scale reproduction of the Empress Shōken’s teahouse in the Meiji Jingu forest. The teahouse and gardens were designed by her husband, Emperor Meiji as a place only for her. Used as a film set for a short film entitled 'The Empress'; the model is made with a mixture of different wood, PVC and clay to maintain durability, and can be taken apart for filming different perspectives.
In the midst of the Meiji Jingu eternal forest, the doors of a teahouse open once more. After 100 years of absence, Empress Shōken returns to gaze upon the remnants of her past.
