The Castle of Erato

exhibited
“The Castle of Symphony” - The TASAKI Ginza Flagship Store, Tokyo, Japan, 2019

Erato is a Muse, she is the goddess of literature, art expression and affection through lyric poetry, chorus and dance.
The Goddess climbs the tower, dances while shimmering, and spins sounds.

An acrylic musical device that plays bells by turning a handle to make the ball rise and roll.
With an internal lighting, the acrylic tower adds grace to the goddess performance.

Eratoは、文芸を司る女神のひとり。
芸術表現をする神抒情詩、歌唱、舞踏により愛情を芸術的表現する女神である。
女神は塔を登り、煌きながら踊り、音を紡ぐ。

ハンドルを回すことで球が塔を登り、頂上から転がることでベルを演奏します。
アクリル製の塔は内部のイルミネーションと共に、女神の演奏に花を添えます。
