		Inspired by Kamono Chomei (1155-1216), who wrote the manuscript HOJOKI in his exile for solitude, I envisioned a Glass Teahouse.
		In HOJOKI, Kamono Chomei took along his hermitage, a tiny 3x3 meter space, where he wrote and slept and thought about the ever-changing world, contemplating nothingness as well as infinity.
		Through a simple construction, I hope the Teahouse space as a contemporary hermitage or a mind spaceship could entertain visitors by encouraging their mind into realm of unlimited imagination.

		It seems this situation is alike the modern world, as we live in the stormy age.
		I think it would be important for us to accept the concept of uncertainty or Mujyo (Buddhism term) like Chomei.
		Chomei’s phrase means the system remains, but the elements are always changing.

		A sense of impending catastrophe -- sudden convulsive loss of prosperity and security -- is a fear now embedded deep in the mind of the people.
		"Of all the frightening things in the world, none is so frightful as an earthquake", wrote the Buddhist monk Kamono Chomei in the year 1212.
		People know from historical records that during the great quake of 1185 mountains crumbled and rivers were buried, the sea tilted over and immersed the land.

	Thomas Hare
		He is interested in representational problems of language, particularly in, so called "exotic'' writing systems of Japanese, Chinese, and Egyptian, the discourse of the body in conjunction with these, and questions of the subject's relation to various construction of "the divine''.
		Hare has been focusing on 15th century Japanese Noh dramas and treatises written by Zeami Motokiyo, late 12th - early 13th century Japanese essay written by Kamono Chomei, and 9th century Buddhist epistemological work written in Chinese letters by Japanese priest Kukai.

		If, though there are some Japanese scholars who question it, tradition ascribes this work truly to Kamono-chomei, it was disappointment at not being allowed to succeed to the ancestral position of Lord Warden of the Shrine of Kamo in Kyoto that caused him to forsake the world and go to live in the hills.
		As can be seen from the Heike Monogatari, which describes the period in more detail, Chomei was not singular in being thus arbitrarily deprived of position and income, neither was he the only one who sought refuge in nature and Buddhist philosophy.
