This perennial plant is part of the Campanulaceae species and is found throughout Japan, mostly in swamps and wetlands. Although some Lobelia are poisonous, the plant is sometimes used in Chinese and traditional herbal medicine. Because many of its flowers are very attractive, it has also been cultivated as a garden plant.
To remove all extraneous elements from an object, leaving only its essence--this is the way of suiboku, the art of brush painting. A suiboku painting uses dramatic and exquisite strokes of charcoal to reveal both the vividness of nature and the philosophy of the painter.
Originally a technique perfected over the course a thousand years, suiboku has now been recreated with revolutionary engineering from TeamLab for a presentation we call Suiboku-kukan. This is just one of the ways Hitachi builds for the future through inspiration from our past.
At Hitachi, we work harder to develop the next great advancements in technology, with the belief that images should awe, surprise, and inspire. So step inside and experience our latest creation - a panorama that combines the emotional power of TeamLab's Suiboku-kukan with the visual brilliance of Hitachi displays.
