市原市
Ichihara City
Yawata Area / Minamimachi Hozokura
The gateway to Ichihara City, where the industrial zone along Tokyo Bay intersects with the historic city center. While the area around Yawatajuku Station is bustling daily with commuters and students, buildings and spaces that once supported local life and commerce are still scattered throughout the area.It is a place where the new streetscape created by redevelopment coexists with historic scenery, allowing visitors to sense the region’s evolution. The surrounding area features shrines, shopping districts, and residential neighborhoods, offering a glimpse of a community closely intertwined with the daily lives of its people.Set against the backdrop of three locations in Hachiman-juku that reflect these different layers of time—the former Hachiman Minamimachi Bicycle Parking Lot, the Minamimachi Hozō Storehouse, and Uosō—this project presents artworks that reexamine the region’s memories, culture, and the daily lives of its people.
