Atmoph Window 2 can provide a sense of openness and healing time in your room with images of scenery and realistic sounds. We delivered a simulated scene of the Omotesenke tea ceremony, which follows the tradition of Rikyu. By watching through the window a series of gestures as the master prepares tea in the tea room, you can enjoy the atmosphere of the world of the tea ceremony at any time while in your room.
From the window of the room, you can now enjoy the profound world of tea ceremony at any time. The scenery is shot by Atmoph’s videographers and is a special scenery that can only be seen from the Atmoph Window.
The composition of this fixed-point shot was taken with careful attention to the position of the horizon line and the height of the viewer’s eye level, making it look as if you are looking out of a real window.
In addition, the refined Japanese garden can be seen from the tea ceremony room, and the beautiful fresh green scenery is also specially photographed and distributed together with the tea ceremony.
In the quietness of the room, you will be able to experience the traditional culture with both your eyes and ears by feeling every single movement of the master as he prepares the tea ceremony, and even the sound of the tatami mats rubbing against the floor as he steps on them.
With “Isshin-an” in Arashiyama, Kyoto, you can experience an authentic tea ceremony with an emphasis on “direct heart-to-heart communion” sent by a former Takarazienne. For sweets, we offer “Chiba Family Original”. Please enjoy the world of tea ceremony to your heart’s content.

The more than 1,400 video images and realistic sounds of scenery shot in 4K/6K by Atmoph provide a sense of openness and healing in the room.
With the increasing demand for people to work from home, not only does it make you feel like you are on a trip by looking out the window at the scenery, but it also combines functions that make life convenient for individual users, such as integration with Google Calendar and a daily routine function that provides alerts on set days of the week and times.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
