"The Three Sacred Treasures"

The Three Sacred Treasures

Prologue

timeは縄文

At a time when the shape and timing of the Japanese continent were still uncertain.

In this world, two different dimensions coexisted.

One is the material reality in which we live.

Another is a spiritual world where sound is controlled by magic.

Each of these had its own kingdom that governed it.

As time passes, they will separate and move to different dimensions,This is a story from a time when we once coexisted in the same dimension.

The Kingdom of Elam, a nation of sonic magic

A female queen ruled, wielding the power of powerful sorcery.

In her later years, the queen divided the country and passed the throne to three princes.

Because of the constant conflict, the country incurred the wrath of God and fell into ruin.

The queen tried to persuade the princes to somehow appease the god's wrath.

He commanded each of them to possess a magical object with equal power and to rule the country.

This is the origin of the three sacred treasures of the guitar.

・The Mirror ・The Sword ・The Jewel (The Ball)

The Mirror

A cursed object sent to ERAHIM, the eldest son of the Elamite Kingdom.

Sounds with frequencies that reach directly into the human brain illuminate the human heart through the reflection seen in a mirror.It is said to tell the truth.

It serves to convey the king's will and to represent the king's authority and divinity.

The body is imprinted with a pattern that is a crystallization of the vibrations of the material.

It is believed that by resonating with the vibrations of the guitar's sound, a door to multiple dimensions opens, allowing one to communicate with God.doing

The Sword

A cursed object sent to SEMU, the second son of the Elamite Kingdom.

The Sword, with its powerful sound, symbolizes wisdom, courage, strength, and justice.

It is believed to give you the strength to overcome difficulties.

It gives people the courage to live and teaches them to live positively.

The pattern of the element of fire is imprinted on its body, serving as a symbol of power and a source of faith for people to live by.The subject of the order

The Jewel (Ball)

A cursed object sent to Imuye, the third son of the Elamite Kingdom.

The Jewel's music promotes peace and harmony, smoothing interpersonal relationships.

It is said to have meanings such as bringing beauty and good fortune, and is also said to represent joy.

Its body is said to have been formed from rare minerals, and it displays patterns of the earth.

All three were created to bring peace to people and are objects of people's faith.

These three sacred guitars serve to convey the will of the gods and represent the authority and sanctity of royalty.

It is a symbol of the throne, proof of the king's legitimacy, and also a symbol of the king's presence.

"Walls"

"Walls" always appear in the landscape of human life.

It is something that silently blocks the way, sometimes invisible, silent, separating the inside from the outside.Drawing the boundary between possible and impossible

That "wall" is both a symbol of rejection, a point of passage, and a screen of memory.

On the walls of overlooked back alleys, layers upon layers of the city's rhythm and the passage of time for its inhabitants are painted.

It has been peeled, repainted, rubbed, and exposed to wind and rain, leaving behind countless traces.

Instead of paint, layering materials with different time processes, such as architectural paints, industrial materials, and digital printing...By going,Layers invisible to the screen emerge. There, past and present, chance and intention, light and shadow intersect.The texture of a city that is constantly undergoing weathering and renewal becomes apparent.

The "wall" is not the end, but the beginning.

To transcend it, to touch it, to keep gazing at it

Perhaps a certain landscape is born from that repetition.
