Through the ekobashira, I will connect with things that we cannot or will not touch directly, and expand our awareness of things, time, and existence away from here. Clay from around the Kan’ei-ji area will be used to create the ekobashira, which will serve as a link to the earth.
——Yusuke Nishimura
An ekobashira is a square-shaped pagoda that is erected in front of the main hall of Zenkoji Temple in Nagano, Japan, on the occasion of the gokaicho (opening of the main sanctuary to the public) of the Maedachi Honzon, and is believed to have spiritual powers when touched. In 2022, Nishimura exhibited ECHO works inspired by this stupa, at Kan’ei-ji Temple for the "Tokyo Biennale 2023 Beginning Exhibition." This year, he will create a revolving round ekobashira at the temple.

Through the ekobashira column made of clay, we connect with things we cannot touch directly, and expand our awareness of distant things, time, and existence.
