Balance, line, and repetition are important elements used to guide the journey through this experiential museum.

The various forms of bamboo have been broken down to create a meaningful experience through the museum. Just as balance represents the spirit and physical world, it defines this space with symmetrical structures. Traditionally, the pilgrimage to a shrine should be as straight as possible. The representation of the line will form a straight path to guide visitors to the shrine. The repeating knots in the bamboo’s stem represents the consistency of Shinto rituals. All of these elements create an atmosphere of curiosity and authenticity.
