Project

"Honmon Butsuryu Shu do Brasil"

This is a large scale project, which was done in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The objective was to design a "Holy Garden" for the Japanese religion, Honmon Butsury-shu. Kitazawa went to Brazil to proceed with the project, and cooperated with about 8~10 local monks to complete it. The main theme was to illustrate the connection between nature and people. He placed numerous stones around the large bell to gather people in circle.

"Kobe-Biennale 2015 Green Art Competition Championship Work"

The theme for this project was the coexistence of nature and human. Kitazawa implemented tatami, which is a traditional Japanese mattress, as well as Zabuton, a traditional Japanese cushion. He then used maple trees to create an atmosphere where people could sit down and relax in nature, despite being in the city.

"River Landscaping"

This project was done to create the scenery of waterfall and river flowing in the mountains. Various trees surround the waterfall, and create the illusion of being in the mountains. Kitazawa put in an enormous amount of effort to implement the suitable rocks and trees, as well as having the correct placement.
