Eternal Continuous Life

The 500,000 square meter Mifuneyama Rakuen Park was created in 1845, during the end of the Edo period. Sitting on the borderline of the park is the famous 3,000-year-old sacred Okusu tree of Takeo Shrine. Also in the heart of the garden is another 300-year-old sacred tree. Knowing the significance of this, our forebears turned a portion of this forest into a garden, utilizing the trees of the natural forest. The border between the garden and the wild forest is ambiguous, and when wandering through the garden, before they know it, people will find themselves entering the woods and animal trails. Enshrined in the forest is the Inari Daimyojin deity surrounded by a collection of boulders almost supernatural in their formation. 1,300 years ago, the famous priest Gyoki came to Mifuneyama and carved 500 Arhats. Within the forest caves there are Buddha Figures that Gyoki carved directly into the rock face that still remain today.


The forest, rocks, and caves of Mifuneyama Rakuen have formed over a long time, and people in every age have sought meaning in them over the millennia. The park that we know today sits on top of this history. It is the ongoing relationship between nature and humans that has made the border between the forest and garden ambiguous, keeping this cultural heritage beautiful and pleasing.


Lost in nature, where the boundaries between man-made garden and forest are unclear, we are able to feel like we exist in a continuous, borderless relationship between nature and humans. It is for this reason that teamLab decided to create an exhibition in this vast, labyrinthine space, so that people will become lost and immersed in the exhibition and in nature.


We exist as a part of an eternal continuity of life and death, a process which has been continuing for an overwhelmingly long time. It is hard for us, however, to sense this in our everyday lives, perhaps because humans cannot easily conceptualize time for periods longer than their own lives. In other words, we can understand that the world of today is a continuation of the same world from yesterday, but we feel that the worlds from more distant ages, like the Edo Period, are different and non-continuous. There is a boundary in our understanding of the continuity of long periods of time.


When exploring the forest and seeing the forms and textures of megaliths and caves that formed over eons, we recognize that this long period of time continued until today. The existence of these forms can transcend the boundaries of our understanding of the eternal continuity of life.


teamLab's project, Digitized Nature, explores how nature can become art. The concept of the project is that non-material digital technology can turn nature into art without harming it.


The artworks explore how the existence of these forms can be used as they are to create a place where we can transcend the boundary in our understanding of the continuity of time and feel the long, long continuity of life. Using these existences that embody long periods of time as they are, we can experiment with expressing this eternal continuous life even today and continue to accumulate meaning in this place.

Story behind VOLVO contribution

Although teamLab and Volvo are in different fields, we have always resonated with the fact that we are both trying to create new values. teamLab creates many surprises and excitement with its innovative art experiences. Volvo, we always put “people” in center and act to protect environment and the future that surrounds us. Volvo's goal is to make all new cars electric by 2030 and to achieve climate neutrality by 2040.


The "VOLVO teamLab: A Forest Where Gods Live" is an expression of innovation that values what has remained unchanged through the ages, while being willing to change for the sake of the future. In our second year of sponsorship, in addition to the new artwork at Mifuneyama, there will be a satellite exhibit in Tokyo, and we hope that many people will enjoy this new experience of fusion of nature and technology.

    Drawing on the Water Surface Created by the Dance of Koi and Boats – Mifuneyama Rakuen Pond​

    This work is a projection onto the surface of Mifuneyama Rakuen Pond. Using sensors, the water’s surface has become interactive, and the koi, that are projected onto the surface, interact with the small boats that float on the pond. The koi do not have a predetermined action, each koi reacts in relation to the behavior of the koi that are close by to it, and each koi swims independent of the others. The koi gather around small boats that gently float on the water, when the boat moves, the koi disperse. The koi swim according to the behavior of the boats, and the influence of the other koi. The movement of the koi leaves trails that draw the artwork.

    Ever Blossoming Life Rock

    Flowers are blooming and scattering for eternity on a large rock (5.5m in height, 4.6m in width, and 6.5m in depth) that is covered in moss. A year of seasonal flowers from the area bloom throughout an hour, continuously scattering and changing.

    Flowers are born, grow, bud, bloom, and eventually scatter, wither and disappear. The flowers are in a continuous cycle of life and death, repeating forever.

    Our own existence is part of this continuity of life and death, repeating endlessly, for an overwhelming length of time, for billions of years. However, it is difficult to perceive this in everyday life.
    The eternal birth and death of the flowers on the large rock, causes us to realize that the existence of life itself is part of a continuous cycle of life and death.
    The artwork is rendered in real time by a computer program. It is neither a prerecorded animation nor on loop, it is continuously changing. Previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur.

    Universe of Water Particles on a Sacred Rock

    This artwork uses an actual giant rock. The giant rock (3m in height, 4.5m in width) was reproduced in a virtual three-dimensional space, water was simulated to fall onto it, and the simulated movement of that water on the form of the giant rock draws the waterfall.

    Next to the giant rock, a collection of boulders almost supernatural in their formation surround a small shrine.

    The water is expressed as a continuum of numerous water particles and the interaction between the particles is calculated. Lines are drawn according to the behavior of the water particles. The cumulation of lines that represent the waterfall are then “flattened” in line with what teamLab considers to be ultrasubjective space.

    Life is Continuous Light - Azalea Valley

    The azaleas spread beneath the cliffs of Mt. Mifuneyama in the azalea valley shine brightly. Each azalea's sphere light is autonomous shining brightly and then fading, as if breathing slowly.
    When people pass by or approach the azaleas, the color of the light changes and a new color resonates out. Then, the light of that tree radiates out and is transmitted to nearby azaleas in the valley. The propagated light of the azaleas will again resonate, and the color will continue to resonate to nearby azaleas in the valley.
    These azaleas are said to have been created by Motozo Sakamoto of the Arima Clan azalea breeding in the late Edo Period during the Tenpo Era (1830 - 1843 C.E.). The azaleas were planted right at the opening of Mifuneyama Rakuen in 1845 C.E.

    Split Rock and Enso

    This artwork makes use of a large rock (2.4m in height, 4.7m in width) that has been split by a maple tree growing from it. The light that draws the calligraphy is black, meaning there is no light, thus making it indistinguishable from the shadows of the maple breaking the rock. The calligraphy and the shadows become one, drawing the Enso.
    Enso is the Zen practice of drawing a circle with a single brush stroke. This artwork depicts an enso drawn as Spatial Calligraphy. The brush stroke is suspended in space but the viewpoint changes to reveal the circle enso. In Zen, enso is a circle that has since ancient times been written with canes or sticks in midair. It is said to represent enlightenment, truth, the entirety of the universe, and equality. The circle also reflects the hearts and minds of those who view it, with its interpretation left to the individual. 
    Spatial Calligraphy is calligraphy drawn in space, a form of calligraphy that teamLab has been exploring since it was founded. The artwork reconstructs calligraphy in three dimensional space to express the depth, speed and power of the brush stroke, and that calligraphy is then flattened using the logical structure teamLab calls Ultrasubjective Space. The calligraphy shifts between two and three dimensions.

    Spatial Calligraphy on the Rock Wall of Five Hundred Arhats, Continuous Life

    About 1,300 years ago, the famous monk Gyoki, who would later create the Great Buddha in Nara, entered the caves of Mifuneyama and engraved Five Hundred Arhats into three caves, and carved the Three Buddhas in the far rock of the third cave. Also at that time, he carved a hole next to the Three Buddhas, into which water has collected over 1,300 years without ever going dry. This water has long been used as medicinal water.
    The calligraphy moves back and forth between the cave and the rock wall outside. The calligraphy is drawn across the surface of a series of three-dimensional caves and walls, where it rotates in three dimensions.The light calligraphy is black, meaning there is no light, thus making it indistinguishable from the darkness of the cave. The darkness of the calligraphy and the cave become one, and the spatial calligraphy is continuously written on the rock wall.

    Sea of Rocks of Oblivion

    A sea of rocks shines brightly. The light of each rock is autonomous, shining brightly and then fading as if breathing slowly. If a person goes close to a rock the light of that rock glows strongly and the color tone resonates out.

    Living Crystallized Light

    Like an organic entity created from crystallized light, the work shines iridescently from its center as it moves around, merging and dividing continuously.

    People can walk into the artwork, and even if they do so, the artwork will continue to be maintained, its existence unharmed. If a person touches the artwork, they realize that what they are looking at is ordinary water. The artwork’s existence is not independent, but is actually a unique phenomenon created by its environment.
    The places where the work appears will change as the viewer moves. The work’s appearance is unique to the viewer, so someone viewing the artwork from another angle will see a different colored work appearing in a different place. In other words, the existence of the artwork being seen is created by its environment, and exists only in the viewer.

    Environmental Phenomena

    teamLab explores the creation of artworks based on the concept of environmental phenomena, in which the artworks do not exist independently, but are created by the environment that produces the various phenomena.

    Objects like stones and man-made creations maintain a stable structure on their own. Unlike these, the existence of the artworks are dependent on their environment.

    The environment produces phenomena and stabilizes their structure - these stabilized phenomena are what create the existence of the artworks.

    Environmental phenomena are released from the material substances that have been responsible for maintaining structures of existence. Elements like air, water, and light that permeate our daily lives are transformed by their environment into unique phenomena that become works of art. The boundaries of their existence are ambiguous and continuous. Even if people destroy the work, the work will remain in existence as long as its environment is maintained. On the contrary, the work will disappear if the environment is not maintained.
    In time, people's consciousness will expand from existence itself to the environment.

    A stone can continue to exist in a closed box, sealed off from the outside world, but life cannot sustain its existence in such a box because it is created by its environment.

    Life is a miraculous phenomenon that emerges from a flow in a continuous world.

    Megaliths in the Bath House Ruins

    Masses (Megaliths) of different space-times are clustered in the bath house ruins.The forest surrounding the bath house ruins is home to 3,000-year-old trees, and it changes daily with the imperceptible, slow flow of time, repeating every year, as a space where the endlessly long time accumulates. The ruins from ages past scattered in the forest and the Edo-period garden which remains today each have their own respective space-times. The bath house was made in modern times, but after just a short period, it was abandoned, becoming a space-time where time had stopped completely. And this group of megaliths is also a mass made up of compressed space-times where the flow of time varies. Here, various space-times intersect and overlap.
    Each megalith is surrounded by similarly standing megaliths, the space-times of which are all connected. 
    The artwork is continuously rendered in real time by a computer program. It is neither prerecorded, nor on loop. As a whole, previous states never recur, and the artwork is continuously changing due to the movement of people. Every moment is unique and can never be seen again.
    The following artworks exist in the artwork space of the three-dimensional objects grouped in these bath house ruins.
    ・Flowers and PeopleThis artwork is in a state of continuous change. Over a period of one hour, a year’s worth of seasonal flowers blossoms and scatters. The flowers bud, grow, and blossom before their petals begin to wither and eventually fade away. The cycle of growth and decay repeats itself in perpetuity. If a person stays still, the flowers surrounding them grow and bloom more abundantly.
    ・Universe of Water Particles When people approach the artwork, the flow of the water changes. The movement of people influences the artwork, causing it to evolve continuously, while the artwork influences other works. For instance, the water causes the flowers in the work Flowers and People to scatter.
    Water is represented by a continuum of numerous water particles. The interaction between the particles is calculated and then lines are drawn in relation to the behavior of the water particles. The lines are “flattened” using what teamLab considers to be ultrasubjective space.

    Graffiti Nature - Living in the Ruins of a Bathhouse, Red List

    All the various creatures drawn by visitors live in the ruins of the bathhouse in Mifuneyama Park.  Color in a creature on the paper provided, and see the picture you have drawn come to life and move in front of you.
    Living things eat and are eaten by other living things in one shared ecosystem.The creatures you draw will multiply if they eat other living things, but they will die and disappear if they do not eat enough, or if they are eaten by other creatures. The salamanders eat the snakes, the snakes eat the lizards, the lizards eat the frogs, and the frogs eat the butterflies, each one propagating as they consume. Likewise, the butterflies multiply in places where flowers grow.Although flowers will bloom if people stay still, their petals will scatter if people walk around and step on them. Salamanders will die if people step on them too much.

    Light Sculpture of Flames

    Pointillism is a genre of paintings that expresses the subject matter through a series of points. This interactive sculpture, however, consists of a set of points of light that are used to express three-dimensional objects. For this work, a three-dimensional interactive flame is produced by the points of light.
    When people move close to the flames, the flames increase in intensity.
    Flames are a phenomenon of light and heat generated by combustion, not a substance, but our sensory experience when we see a chemical reaction called combustion. People perceive the flame, a sensory experience, as if it were an object, and sometimes feel life in it.
    Flames often appear to have a hierarchy of colors from their outside to the center: red on the outside, strong bright white on the inside, and dark in the center. In the case of a raw egg, the outer shell is white, the interior is transparent, and the center is yellow, but because it is a three-dimensional object, only the white shell is visible from the outside. Unlike an egg, the flame is a three-dimensional object made of light, and the strong bright white inside is still white when mixed with the red outside. Therefore, the flame, which is a three-dimensional object, appears as if it were a flat painting with a color hierarchy, no matter where you look at it.
    By creating a three-dimensional flame with a collection of points of light, the three-dimensional flame sculpture moves back and forth between three and two dimensions.

    Universe of Fire Particles in a Decaying Underground Passage

    A long-forgotten underground passage has recently been discovered, and the depths of the passage are decaying. In this space that is crumbling and losing its original structure, a fire burns eternally.

    The forest above the underground passage is home to 3,000-year-old trees, and it changes daily with the imperceptible, slow flow of time and with each year passing year, as a space where the endlessly long time accumulates. The ruins from ages past scattered in the forest and the Edo-period garden which remains today each have their own respective space-times. The forgotten underground tunnel is a space where time seems to have stopped, and the depths of the passage are a decaying space and time that will not exist for much longer. The fire that eternally burns there also has its own space and time.
    Here, various space-times intersect and overlap.

    The fire changes shape due to a transparent absolute presence.
    Lines are drawn in relation to the flow of combusting gas, and the flames are created by the accumulation of those lines in three-dimensions. The lines are then “flattened” using what teamLab considers to be Ultrasubjective Space to represent the flames.

    teamLab is exploring the concept of Distributed Art.
    If you launch the Distributed Fire smartphone application and approach this artwork, the flame will ignite and you can take the artwork home with you. When you bring that flame close to another person's smartphone, a flame will alight. As you connect the flame, and they connect that flame with someone else, the flame will spread all over the world. The flames that are spread are displayed on the Map of The Flame.

    Distributed Art duplicates itself, or a part of an artwork is distributed among people. Then, once in the hands of the people, the artwork is further actively distributed, and also makes copies of itself. The artworks will be distributed and exist on people's networks and become decentralized. When the artwork exists on the network, it continues to exist even if the original disappears.

    Ruptured Hotel Wall

    This installation space consists of a ruptured wall, teamLab’s works Living Crystallized Light and Light Sculpture of Flames, and a VOLVO C40 Recharge.
    As part of a project with VOLVO in 2021, the wall in this space was ruptured and Light Sculpture of Flames was installed. In 2022, Living Crystallized Light was newly created and a VOLVO C40 Recharge was placed inside the installation, existing as one with the work.

    Built during the years of steep modern economic growth, this space inside the hotel was abandoned after a short period, becoming a time-space where time had stopped completely. The forest, rocks, and caves of Mifuneyama Rakuen have formed over a long time, and people in every era have sought meaning in them over the millennia. It is the ongoing, continuous relationship between nature and humans that has made the border between the forest and garden ambiguous, keeping this cultural heritage beautiful and pleasing. By breaking through the walls that have divided this continuity, the space is reconnected to the continuity of the world and time, creating a place where various time-spaces intersect and overlap.

    الحياة تحيا بقوّة الحياة 2

    على الرغم من أن الذات والطبيعة يبدوان مختلفين، إلا أنهما في الواقع كيان واحد، لا ينفصلان عن بعضهما البعض. إن نقيض الانقسام ليس هو التوحد، وقد ندرك أن الوجود الذي يبدو متميزًا هو في الواقع جزء من كلٍّ واحد.
    إن منافع الطبيعة وتهديداتها، وكذلك منافع وتهديدات الحضارة، مستمرة. ولا يوجد مصدر للشر المطلق، ولا يمكن رفضه بشكل مثالي. ومع ذلك فإننا نسعى إلى تأكيد الحياة في جميع جوانبها. إن الحياة جميلة.
    في هذا العمل الفني، تمت كتابة (生 "سيه")، المقطع الذي يدل على الحياة، بشكل ثلاثي الأبعاد باستخدام الخط في الفضاء. والخط في الفضاء هو شكل من أشكال الخط المرسوم في الفضاء والذي كان تيم لاب يستكشفه منذ تأسيسه. يعيد العمل الفني بناء الخط في فضاء ثلاثي الأبعاد للتعبير عن عمق وسرعة وقوة ضربة الفرشاة، ثم يتم تسطيح هذا الخط باستخدام البنية المنطقية التي يطلق عليها تيم لاب الفضاء فوق الذاتي. وينتقل الخط بين بعدين وثلاثة أبعاد.
    يبدو فضاء العمل الفني التقليدي، المؤطر بالعدسة أو المنظور، وكأنه على الجانب الآخر من سطح العمل الفني، حيث يصبح السطح بمثابة حدود، ويتم فصل الفضاء الذي يوجد فيه المشاهد عن فضاء العمل الفني. ومع ذلك، فإن إحدى خصائص الفضاء فوق الذاتي هي أن سطح العمل الفني لا يصبح حدودًا.وبالتالي فإن الفضاء الذي يوجد فيه العمل الفني يتجاوز حدود سطح العمل الفني ويتم إدراكه كما لو أنه موجود بشكل ثلاثي الأبعاد في نفس الفضاء الذي يقف فيه المشاهد. وفضاء العمل الفني متواصل مع الفضاء المادي للمشاهد.

    Resonating Forest - Cherry Blossoms and Maple

    The cherry blossoms and maple forest of Mifuneyama Rakuen shine brightly. Each tree’s light is autonomous, shining brightly and then fading as if it’s breathing.
    As people pass nearby, the light of the trees changes color, and a tone specific to that color resonates out. The light of an individual tree spreads radially to the neighboring trees. In the same way that the light is transmitted between trees, the tone also propagates through each tree, spreading continuously.
    If a wave of light comes from the other side, it signifies the presence of people there. People gain a heightened sense of awareness of the existence of other people in the same space.

    The Sacred Tree

    Over 3,000 years old, this camphor tree is the 7th largest tree in Japan. The roots of the tree are wrapped in rough bark, with their central section split open near the surface of the ground. The interior is a hollow space about 22 square meters in size, with a stone shrine in the back. This is the sacred tree of Takeo Shrine, which was built in the Nara Period (735 CE).

    Depending on your location and the pace at which you walk through the shrine from the torii gate, to the forest, to the bamboo thicket, to the sacred tree, the musical experience changes.

    If you look at the satellite photo on Google Maps, you will see the sacred tree is located in the forests of Mifuneyama that lead to the garden. When the garden was built towards the end of the Edo period (1845 CE), efforts were made to find a path connecting the garden to the sacred tree based on the theory that there was a hidden path in the forest. A footpath made from stones was finally uncovered, where you can find The Floating Tree. Currently, only the section of path between the garden and the sacred tree containing that artwork is being maintained.

    The Stone Gate of Tsukazaki Castle

    Location: Outside Mifuneyama Rakuen Garden
    Hours: On view 24 hours a day

    Tsukazaki Castle is also known as Mifuneyama Castle.This castle is said to have been built by the second generation lord of Takeo, Sukeshige Goto, in the period around 1118-1120 CE.In the early Edo period (the first half of the 17th century), the Goto family received the surname of Nabeshima from the lord of Saga, Katsushige Nabeshima, and the Goto family name then became Takeo Nabeshima.Under the "One Castle per Province" law (1615 CE) of the Edo Shogunate, Tsukazaki Castle was eventually abandoned, but it survived to the present as a residence of the Takeo Nabeshima family through the Edo period.

    EN TEA's Private Farm (Ureshino Tea Plantation)

    The private farm of EN TEA, from which the tea used at EN TEA HOUSE is sourced, is located around a 20-minute drive from Mifuneyama Rakuen in the woodlands of Kyushu's Ureshino, which lies along the borders of Saga and Nagasaki prefectures. This is the region where green tea was believed to have been produced in Japan for the very first time. Research on tea production methods is being conducted here, alongside the cultivation of tea in this small company farm where roaming goats eat the weeds growing in the tea fields.

    A New Art and Sauna Experience

    Take Alternating Hot and Cold Baths, Enter a Sauna Trance, Activate the Brain and Senses, then Experience Art in the Forest

    This is a new art and sauna experience combining the “VOLVO teamLab: A Forest Where Gods Live” exhibition and the Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel Rakan Bath, the winner of SAUNACHELIN 2019, 2020 & 2021.
    Combo tickets for a day trip to Rakan Bath and “VOLVO teamLab: A Forest Where Gods Live” are available, allowing visitors not staying at the Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel or Onyado Chikurintei to take a sauna, then experience art in the forest. (*Reservation Required) Open your mind in a sauna surrounded by 3-million-year-old nature and 1,300 years’ worth of heritage. Reconnect with the continuity of the world and of time in 500,000 square meters of art spread across historic forests and gardens.

    Open Your Mind in a Sauna Surrounded by the Forest and History, Become a Part of Nature and History, and Reconnect with the World

    In the forest where the 3,000-year-old sacred Okusu tree resides, is a cave of five hundred Arhats carved 1,300 years ago by the Buddhist monk Gyoki. (*1) Next to the cave, visitors will open their brains in a sauna of history and forest, and walk through the art spread over 500,000 square meters of forest and a garden built in Edo.
    (*1 ) The Tsukahara no Karafuro, one of the oldest existing saunas in Japan, is said to have been built by Gyoki, an ascetic who traveled all over Japan before building the Great Buddha in Nara, hoping to cure people of their illnesses. It is believed that Gyoki built saunas for people while practicing Buddhism all over the country.






    Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel Rakan Bath

    The Rakan Bath, the winner of the SAUNACHELIN 2019, 2020 & 2021 Grand Prix, at Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel have been completely renovated (both men's and women's). The men's bath now has a meditation sauna where guests can enjoy löyly (pouring hot water on sauna stones to produce steam, uses natural water from Mt. Mifune and roasted tea from Ureshino, Saga). The men's bath also has a cold water bath with hot spring water cooled to 16 degrees Celcius, and a large open-air bath/bathing space surrounded by the nature of Mt. Mifune.
    The women's bath is also now equipped with a meditation sauna, allowing guests to enjoy löyly (uses natural water from Mt. Mifune) and Kugel (aroma balls that produce a scent when on top a sauna stove). It also has a cold water bath with hot spring water cooled to 17 degrees Celcius, a steam sauna, a cafe (has homemade pudding, detox water, etc.), and an open-air bath/bathing space surrounded by the nature of Mt. Mifune.
