#### **Overview**
A [※Kimono](#Further-reading) is hanged from a beam (or on a standing rack) in between the inner and outer dwelling space, opened widely with its hems, and besides invested with a void on its body, that appeared like a round window as installation and scenic art.  
It's a makeshift window for borrowed scenery, and its round shape is incorporated by reference of round window in Buddhist temples like [※Genkoan](#Further-reading) temple's one in Kyoto for example; that is called "The Window of Enlightenment" and is meant to represent a heart of Zen & Entsu ( Entsu = through the shape of a circle). As sphere is the shape of the very basic element, that expresses the harmony of the universe, wherein you can access the natural way of life, pure, unbiased figure, that is, the enlightenment.
