"I hear the birds peeping, and see trees and plants stretch as far as the eye can see.
The place where we sense the signs of creatures everywhere, and realize each of us is one of the vulnerable creatures; that is the forest.
In the forest, various creatures have lived and each has survived since the dawn of time.
There are as many types of culture as the number of the creatures living in the forest.

It is said that Man started farming about 12,000 years ago.
The transition from hunting to harvesting was, for Man, the event that drastically changed the way of living.
Man created civilizations, developed religion, and built nations with time spared through preserving food.

Tick-tack tick-tack. In this exhibition, we would like you to witness a fragment of time in the great span of history.

We cannot separate ourselves from our time, and history is the destiny we cannot choose.

However, we have right to choose and pave the path that leads to the future."
