□ In this art festival, we are moving to create another world where both creators and creatures can gather together and enjoy a 10-day art festival. 

By comparing contemporary artists of different genres to heteromorphic creatures lurking in today’s society and also by likening the Hozanji area to an alien world, we aim to present a temporary community, where we can refine our sensitivity, facilitate the exchanges and cooperation with one another in a reluxed style, respecting and sharing different values of other people. 

 

We are preparing a several evening or nighttime events during the run of 10 days, because the HOZANJI area offers some accomodations for travelers, so we think we’d better focus on most of our attention on our guests enjoying both our events and all-day sightseeing around the Hozanji area, which is always filled with a kind of animistic and holy atmosphere.
