At Sol, one part of the wall is painted in magenta. This color, discovered by Goethe, is a combination of red and violet, which respectively are the lowest and highest colors of the visible spectrum. Red is most heavy with long wavelengths signifying Roughness. Violet is light with short wavelengths signifying Delicateness. Hence, in Japan, violet is commonly used to represent the highest rank. The words, “reason is formed by the height of culture and the height of animality” represent this ideology; when the extremities of the vulgar and the refined exist, instead of combining both and diving it in half, it is the intuition of going both directions simultaneously. This is what is referred to as the Middle Way in Buddhism, meaning when exact opposites exist, one does not take what is in the center but encloses them both. Sol’s aim to synthesize the man-made, contemporary and western, with the natural, antique and eastern, alludes to the meaning of the color magenta, which signifies a mixture of opposite colors. Thus, magenta is the symbol of the Middle Way.

 311で味わった自然の猛威から

　早々と季節だけが行き過ぎて

　何でもなかったかのようになっていく日常に問う

　自然と共に生きてこそ生かされているという事実

　私たちは同じ過ちをくりかえしてはいけない　　　

　　自ずとあれば然り

　　思いは形になり

　　一人一人の中で

　　描く未来が世界を創る

　この機会に集まろう

　善の花を咲かせよう

　THE  ZEN KAIで感じよう


中納良恵

是非、集いましょう。咲かせましょう。感じましょう。
