	Naomi Ota - text index
		Taketomi is less densely settled and built, whilst simultaneously more sparse and spacious than the heavily urbanised areas of mainland Japan.
		The space and void rather than elaborate buildings or rich fixtures identified the sacrosanct nature of the shrines, a sense of religious preparation and concentration was enhanced by the meandering paths that traditionally led to the Utaki, emphasising that the journey was as important as the endpoint.
		The coralline forms are arranged to suggest a passage, either an abstract sense of movement or a trail resembling a path to a sacred place and thus the contemplative spatiality of Taketomi manifests itself in the gallery with coralline forms arranged to hint at the sense of a ritual open space.
