Below Mt. Haneda where the sculpture stands, there is a band of Inada granite bedrock that was formed 60 million years ago. I placed a piece of this bedrock in the middle of the grassland on the hillside. There are two rooms, one large and one small, created by removing pieces of stone out of the stone cubes. They are rooms for meditation. Try meditating peacefully in a granite womb, created from the moving crust of the Earth.
