A Journey Through Threads and Quiet Prayers
A Journey Through Threads and Quiet Prayers
【Statement】
LOVE it ONCE MORE transforms NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO with gentle installations of thread and prayer.
Start your journey at the front desk, where you'll receive a Pilgrim's Notebook. As you explore each space, you'll follow threads that guide you inward.
Each of us carries a thread--it unravels, ties, and goes on. A quiet journey to soften and reconnect.
May this journey offer a moment to gently see the beautiful pattern your thread has woven.
【Dates】
July 12 (Sat) - July 27 (Sun), 2025
12:00pm - 7:00pm (Final day closes at 6:00pm)
