The solo exhibition "Iramkarapte", held in the nature-filled city of Azumino, Nagano, at the meditation eco-village Iramkarapte, has successfully concluded.
(September 24 - October 18, 2023)

I am deeply grateful to everyone who visited and connected with me. Thank you so much.

"Iramkarapte"

May I gently touch your heart?

This was the concept behind the "place" and "exhibition."

It was created with prayers for visitors to feel healed and re-energized.

And yet, the central figure of the exhibition, Kota himself, ended up being profoundly healed in the process.

This outcome was influenced by being immersed in the embrace of vast nature, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, and surrounded by kind-hearted people.

Additionally, the carefully curated arrangement of numerous Oneness Art pieces in perfect harmony transformed the venue into what felt like a power spot.

This experience brought many insights and lessons. I am now deeply confident that the art I create and the exhibitions I host in the future will become even more refined.

I would be grateful if you would continue to witness my creations and activities as they unfold.

Thank you sincerely for this wonderful experience.

Many people visited the solo exhibition and shared their impressions with me.
I am truly grateful.

Thanks to each and every one of your voices,
I feel an immense sense of gratitude and love, both as an artist and as a person.

For those who could not attend the exhibition,
I would like to share some of the feedback I received.

I hope that through these words and photos,
the atmosphere of the exhibition and its gentle energy will reach you.

Feedback

Viewing Kota's artwork allowed me to feel, with my entire being,
that everything is one and that everything is me.

It was as though I was being shown deep within myself.
As I gazed at the artwork, I felt as if the art itself was also aware of me.

After seeing Kota's work, it was fascinating how the chirping of birds,
the croaking of frogs, and the rustling of trees sounded much clearer than usual.

Kota himself is like his artwork—profound, authentic,
and radiating a vibration that is truly precious.
His words and presence are treasures.

I am deeply grateful to Kota, the wonderful team at Iramkarapte,
Chisato, and everyone who guided me to this exhibition.

Who would you recommend this to?

I recommend this to everyone, but especially to:

• Those who want to feel oneness
• Those who wish to deeply connect with their inner self
• Those who want to remember their pure, authentic self
  from the time they were born

🙂

I visited around 10:30 this morning.
The artwork was truly shocking—in the best way!

Both the pieces and the exhibition space were incredible,
filled with overflowing energy.
After the exhibition, it felt as if I had received an energy alignment session,
and my sense of self became perfectly balanced.

My vibrations were elevated,
and I couldn't even recall the things that had been bothering me before visiting.
It was as if I couldn’t bring myself to worry anymore.

I simply felt a profound sense of happiness,
and that state lingered for a while even after I returned home.

This was the first time I've had such an experience at an exhibition.
I will definitely visit again.

Feedback

Seeing the works in person gave me a very different impression compared to viewing them on Instagram.

The artwork with two eyes, which is also featured on postcards,
initially made me feel a strange uneasiness.
But as I reflected on it, I felt as if it was showing me—or confronting me with—
parts of myself that I tend to deny or avoid acknowledging.

The artwork featuring wood grain patterns gave me the feeling
that if I kept it by my side while sleeping, I might have wonderful dreams.
I’d love to come back and just gaze at it again.

Usually, when I visit galleries or see artwork, I get inspired to think,
“I want to create or paint something myself!”
But this time, I felt a strong urge to meditate instead.
I think I’ll spend some time reflecting inward. Thank you so much.

Invisible Yet Tangible Forces

The artworks created for this exhibition, inspired by the unique setting, evolved into something closer to nature, embracing their pure and beautiful forms. These pieces became truly mystical.

As mentioned in the feedback shared earlier, it was remarkable how many visitors consistently expressed similar feelings about the works and the space:

• Feeling healed | Energized
• Overwhelmed or embraced by energy
• Sensing light
• A sensation of looking inward (self-dialogue)

Despite visitors coming from different backgrounds and life experiences, this "shared recognition" seemed to naturally emerge. It left me pondering the existence of an underlying logic at work.

As an artist, I see myself as a conduit that visualizes the consciousness of "Oneness" through the medium of art. Those who view the works may unconsciously connect with or remember this sense of "Oneness."

This connection leads viewers to feel shared sensations—healing, being enveloped in energy, sensing light, or engaging in self-dialogue. While it might sound mystical, it may not be so surprising from a universal perspective.

After all, 99.999999% of the cosmos remains unexplored by science. For instance:

• 97% of human DNA is labeled as "junk," not because it is useless, but because its purpose is not yet understood by science.
• In quantum mechanics, the "double-slit experiment" reveals that the behavior of particles changes depending on whether they are observed. The reason for this remains a mystery.
• Concepts like love or "ki" (energy) are invisible and cannot be scientifically proven, yet we feel their undeniable presence in our hearts.

Much of the universe is governed by forces that are unseen and unexplained but undeniably real. The phenomenon of viewers experiencing shared sensations through my art may also stem from such forces.

Hypothetically, from a quantum perspective, observing the artwork could trigger the emergence of unique energies, which the viewer then absorbs. Alternatively, these energies might already exist within the viewer and are activated by the act of observation. This activation could be linked to the love, "ki," and consciousness of Oneness that I, as the artist, infused into the work during its creation.

While this remains a hypothesis, it aligns with the experiences people have shared. The fact that so many individuals receive warmth and gentleness from my works is an honor and a blessing for me as an artist.

Thank you deeply for this incredible connection.

Thanks to the people who kindly send messages and comments, the phenomena of "being healed," "feeling surrounded by energy," "feeling light," and "engaging in self-dialogue" are not only experienced through Kota's art, but also through the words, conversations, and even by interacting with the SNS and this website.

It is truly heartwarming to see more and more people experiencing this, and I am deeply grateful.

If you feel anything or have any insights, I would be grateful if you could share them with me through messages or comments.

Also, if you haven’t yet, I would be honored if you could follow me on SNS.

During the exhibition period, a retreat dinner event was also held at the venue.

Surrounded by art with the concept of Oneness,

enjoying fresh and delicious meals

along with a gentle live piano performance tuned to 432Hz.

The wonderful atmosphere is conveyed even through the photos.

I am truly honored that such a beautiful gathering could be held amidst the art.

Thank you so much.

"Remembering the 'True' Self."

The wind, the people, gentle and comfortable.

The trees sway in the sunlight,

and the insects and birds sing healing songs.

The pleasant scent of wood and earth

fills the lungs with a soothing breath.

Surrounded by gentle nature, people, and Oneness art,

the things that once bound me,

such as anxiety and fear,

slowly begin to unravel.

Healing takes place.

I reconnect with myself.

It's like the sensation of being "aligned" after a sauna,

that soft, comforting feeling that envelops you.

I remember the 'true' self,

the 'natural' self.

This was the experience of my exhibition.

Among all my past exhibitions, this one seemed to hold the highest healing energy.

Also, through the art I had been pursuing, many visitors were able to receive something from the pieces.

I was able to witness love circulating through art, right before my eyes.

As an artist walking this path, this experience gave me a deep sense of the most important meaning in creating art and expressing myself.

Once again,

Thank you so much to everyone who visited.

To those who traveled from afar, I truly appreciate you.

To the members of Iramkarapute, thank you for your warm welcome.

And to everyone in the world,

thank you for simply existing in this world.

The Meditation Eco-Village "Iramkarapute" is a gentle community that serves as a share house,

a guest house, and also an event venue.

The warm atmosphere flowing here feels like a world from a picture book or a fairy tale.

This is not a place you go to; it is a place where you "return" to your true self.

That is how I strongly felt.

The people who gather here are also kind and warm.

By spending time with them, something kind and warm will surely continue to linger in your heart.

Every morning at 6:00, we meditate with those who wish to join.

Meditating while feeling the sunrise in a nature-filled environment is an extraordinarily luxurious time.

The vibrant vegetables from their farm are used in dishes that are not only delicious but beautiful.

If you're feeling a bit weary of life or if you wish for new, wonderful encounters,

I believe Iramkarapute is a perfect match for you.

If you feel drawn to it, please consider staying for a few days.

Surely, there is something that will "unravel" within you.
