－From a set of compartments to a holistic theory－
Dignity and permanence of the sanctuary
No matter how much society changes, the "graves," the place where the souls of the dead and the souls of the living meet through some place or device, must have dignity and permanence. In the "Yoyo-no-niwa" the one and only natural stone gives dignity to the dead, and the unity of the individual and enshrined graves ensures the permanence of life in circulation. The relationship between all the graves and the garden as a whole resembles a return to nature and is appropriate for a sanctuary.
