The idea of this proposal is very simple. It is based on the relationship between the historical development of Nagano Prefecture and its unique natural environment, that is-destruction and restoration as the starting point to trigger thinking.

The earliest documented sites in Nagano Prefecture can be traced back to 5000-300 BC. During the whole historical period, Nagano Prefecture was regarded as the Shinano Province in AD 600-1868, and it was a place that must be contested by military strategists in history. In the Warring States period, there were five wars with heavy casualties, the OMAChI-BATTLE OF KAWANAKAjIMA, which spanned 11 years. The fourth war, the Nakagawa War, was the most deadly war in japanese history. In ten years, tens of thousands of people were killed and their homes were los, mountains and forests were destroyed t. however, on the time axis of history, this dark decade only has been condensed into a single line, a paragraph of text.

While experiencing destruction, this place has also become a place for soldiers to recuperate because of its rich hot spring resources. The soldiers were treated here. The destruction caused by human ambition is comforted by nature here; But the pain caused to nature is almost irrecoverable if time measured by human life span. This proposal is intended to express a thought that part of the mountain was recorded in detail before being "destroyed". Every tree, every stone, its slope and terrain are also completely recorded and carefully "restored" to the environment of concrete cities or towns What remains in original place is the self-created hardened concrete edge of the "destroyed" people. Of course, this "recovery" is abrupt and taken for granted. Once "damage" is caused, it is difficult to make up. This misplaced and taken for granted understanding is the product of human self-righteous.

Wappara iSeki -Two groups of stone row relics and pits have been found locally, and a large number of pottery and stone tools have been collected. As a result, it can be clearly seen that the site is an early relic of the Jōmon period (14000 – 300 BCE) about 5000 years ago.

The Battle of KAWANAKAjIMA refers to the general name of the five major wars between the JIAFEI country and the EChIGO country in the Warring States Period of japan. The battle took place in Shinano Prefecture, now is Nagano Prefecture. Although this final tied battle took place in Nagano City, the city of omachi became the main place for the soldiers to recover from the injury because of its abundant hot spring resources.

The rough feeling of green non-woven fabric and glass fiber in the forest creates the feeling of construction site. Visitors can see the “destroyed” appearance of this place through the Qr code, and there will be a deep pit at the place where the mountain is dug 25X25. The trunk wrapped by nonwoven fabric will be invisible in the screen.
