Body-Island: Sculptures from the Classic of Mountains and Seas

山と海 – Mountains and Seas

Long, long ago, there were no boundaries between the human body and the land.
Mountains were bones, rivers were veins, and islands were the resting places of souls.

The Nine-Tailed Fox leapt gracefully through the mountains, her feathers slicing through morning mist.
The Sea God lay dormant in the deep, ancient waves chanting forgotten hymns.
The Queen Mother of the West was still a magical forest princess, listening to the whispers of the sky under moonlight, living among beasts and spirits.
Giants chased the sun. Headless warriors swung their swords relentlessly.
And wizards chanted spells to forge stones and mend the heavens.

In those times, humans, gods, and beasts shared a single world.
Trees stretched their limbs to touch the skies, the earth pulsed with a burning heart.
Each mountain and river had its own voice.
Every star, every dewdrop, carried the memory of life.

On the edge of a cloud, by the shimmer of a wave,
a traveler picks up a shard of ancient pottery, carved with the totem of a mythical beast.
He runs his fingers over its surface, feeling the warmth of the clay.
The wind murmurs by his ear—something begins to awaken.
An ancient voice whispers:
"Come home. This is your mountain, your sea—your body, your soul’s returning place."
