House of Light by James Turrell

"The power of James Turrell’s art is that it evokes and expands contemplative states within the viewer. So what could be a more fitting home for his art than a guesthouse for meditation deep within Japan’s rural western countryside? Guests can stay overnight at the House of Light, where Turrell has fused aspects of traditional Japanese architecture, aesthetics, and culture with his own play on light and shadows."

"Originally created for the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale in 2000, this structure has a concrete ground floor and wooden upper level whose roof opens to frame the sky, filling the tatami-lined interior with shifting natural light; at sunrise and sunset the interior lighting changes to emphasise the colours of the sky, it is one of the few Turrell works in Asia that can be booked for an overnight stay, and it is roughly a two-hour train journey from Tokyo." - James P.
