纪念碑位于日本大分县宇佐市Ajimu的一处环岛中央。Ajimu盆地曾经是一片湖泊，项目灵感便来自于湖泊倒映的山峦镜像。为了保证交叉路口的视线，设计师将长短不一的钢管按照相同的间距悬挂。它们如同在水面闪烁的雕塑，随观察者的位置不同而变化。当你转过环岛时，中央的雕塑仿佛在与你的视点一起运动。此外，从圆形格栅上垂下的管状构件抽象地表现了Ajimu的葡萄架。部分构件为实心铁管，落在地面成为纪念碑的支柱。项目的配色参考了组成Ajimu景观的自然元素，也呼应了Ajimu传统石膏壁画中的淡雅颜色。

A monument on the central island of a roundabout in Ajimu, Usa City, Oita Prefecture, Japan. It was inspired by the mirror image of the mountains that would have been reflected in the Ajimu Basin, which was once a lake. To ensure visibility at the intersection, steel pipes of different lengths were hung at equal intervals. Like a statue shimmering on the surface of the water, it changes its appearance depending on the viewing position. When you go around the intersection with the monument at the center, the statue itself seems to be moving in sync with the movement of your viewpoint. By the way, the pipes hanging from the circular lattice-shaped shelves are an abstraction of the grape growing shelves in Ajimu. Some of the pipes are solid iron pipes that reach to the ground and serve as supports for the monument. The color scheme is inspired by the nature that makes up the Ajimu landscape. It is also the pastel colors of the plaster murals of the traditional culture of Ajimu.
