In Japan during the Edo period and the Meiji era, the culture was transmitted in a pulse as trees sucked up water and their nutrients flowed to branches. In Japan at that time, art resided not only in the works created by the craftsmen, but also in the tools themselves.

In this exhibition, Everett Brown will show the "Japanese remnants" hidden in artisans and tools with the 19th century technology "Wetplate Light Painting". Following the remnants of Japan in the present age, you can see what the souls dwell in manufacturing, and the footprints of Mr. Eve Ret, the tools owned by the museum, masters from various places, buildings and landscapes.
