FUSHIMI : The Torii Path Lamp

This work attempts to reconstruct the Japanese "tradition" from a new perspective.

In Kyoto, there is Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine famous for its long approach path with almost one thousands of red Torii.

This lamp is designed with the motif of this Torii gate.

A quadrilateral frame consisting of three wooden (MDF) bars and one translucent milky white acrylic bar was used as one unit, and they were rotated little by little and stacked to form a helical shape.

The light leaking from the slit and the light transmitted through the acrylic combine to create a fantastic light scene.

The light passing through the red and white materials framed in a helical shape can be enjoyed in various ways depending on the viewing angle.
