The Exhibition of Akio Morita: the Voice of Tengai

The word "Tengai," which means "the shores of Heaven," is taken from Akio Morita's posthumous Buddhist name "SeishoinTENGAIkeidojoza". Performances incorporated into the venue where the Akio Morita exhibition is presented make visitors feel as though the voice of Akio Morita himself can be heard, even though he has departed this world for the shores of Heaven, wider than the universe.
