Interior décor that evokes the rhythm of rain.

The sound of raindrops comes to life through the movement of three pendulums, allowing you to sense the gentle passage of time in the rhythms that emerge in quiet, fleeting moments.

As light falls on the wooden base, a m a o t o begins to move. The pendulums sway in response to each other, tracing unexpected paths as they interact with the changing light, weaving a calming rhythm into the stillness.

①The solar cell absorbs light energy.

②The light energy causes the three pendulums to begin moving.

③A hammer, influenced by the magnetic force from the pendulums, strikes and generates a rhythmic sound.

When light shines on the wooden base, amaoto comes to life. The three pendulums sway, each affecting the others, following varied paths as they weave a rhythm into the stillness.

Our lives are filled with countless sounds. We live in this modern society consciously hearing prominent sounds extracted from background noise.

At the same time, we tend to overlook the sounds nature offers. The small but beautiful sounds—echoing birdsong across a field, leaves rustling in the wind, and the gentle drip of rain in a foggy morning forest—often go forgotten.

The concept of 'soundscape,' introduced in the 1960s, highlights a specific sound experience for a space by encouraging the consideration of sound as an essential element of the landscape, rather than something apart from it.

Now that the connection between sound and land space has been slowly reconsidered, it is time for us to reconnect with these sounds and view familiar spaces from a fresh perspective.
