Thematic Project
“Brilliance of Life Project”

We are now at a turning point in reconstructing civilisation, not only from an economic point of view, but also in the areas of the environment, human rights, education, and health.

In a world where everyone is connected to one another, it is important to respect diverse forms of life and aim to achieve a future where each and every individual can prosper.

The thematic project “Resonance of Lives” offers the opportunity to experience human co-being—resonating with life and the future—through co-creating a new world.

Half a century has passed since the Japan World Exposition Osaka 1970—we believe that human life in the future will be designed by human beings themselves.
Life that is supported and designed by technology
Life that exists in technology (robots)

Let’s witness the explosive light emitted from the diverse life (creativity) lying within each one of us and listen carefully to the vivid primeval song of life vigorously arising from deep within our body.
This project aims to create relationships with a variety of worlds and totally transform what it means to learn, play, create, and “live”, not only during the Expo but before and after it.
This is a journey to make the diverse meaning of existence and overflowing light of life (creativity) of all people and things explode, connect the whole world through the joy of creativity, and explore an inclusive “co-creation” (democratisation of creativity) society for the future filled with playfulness and hope.
You and “Playground of Life  Jellyfish Pavilion” opening in Yumeshima Island will witness this historic moment in 2025.
Life is so fascinating.

Unknown landscapes
Transforming sculptures that warp the landscape

Making visiting physical places a valuable experience. An interactive monument unknown to humankind.
Using the freedom offered by digital technology, it brings harmony between nature and humans while converting the landscape.
This project aims to bring about progress in architecture and interactive technology that can only be achieved in a major global event held only once every few years.

Unknown experience
Digital body-based infinity mirror

Visitors’ bodies are digitalised, and they will interact with their digitalised bodies that transform organically and move autonomously within the pavilion.
The first ever rediscovery of the mirror in recorded history.

The modern world is characterised by an increasing division between people and between people and nature.
A variety of solutions are being developed around the world, but why is it that none of them help address this issue fundamentally?
Is it not because biophilosophy, the basic attitude for approaching the fundamental issue of life, is missing from the equation?
Aspiring for a better future for our society and planet, this pavilion imparts a philosophy that shakes our awareness from its very foundation—that there is actually no clear boundary separating selfishness and altruism.

Expresses the brilliance of fragile, precious, powerful, lovable, and beautiful life and the connection between all forms of life that inhabit the universe, the seas, and the earth.
The project aims to advocate a paradigm shift from anthropocentrism to biocentrism and the importance of protecting and nurturing lives.

Our pavilion addresses environmental issues and starvation, presenting the possibilities of Japanese food culture and cutting-edge food technology to explore new eating practises leading to a better future together with visitors.

We also want to create an aftertaste like the one below.

By resetting what you take for granted through food, we want visitors to become aware of the most important things in life and to develop a sense of gratitude and kindness from modesty, which will lead to a feeling of happiness.

Starting tonight, you will want to cherish meal-times a bit more than you did yesterday.

We hope we can spread the Japanese word “Itadaki-masu” and new attitudes to food to people across the world.

People create boundaries between one another due to their differences.
However, people are emotional beings that can communicate with each other.
Accepting one another through communication and changing ourselves will lead to a better future.
Communication from our hearts will take place in this forest-like theatre.
