2014年に全館建替えでリニューアルした「京湯元 ハトヤ瑞鳳閣」。最上階にある天然温泉の大浴場には、湯けむりの中でも際立つ縁起物のひょうたんと南天、そして雲錦(桜と紅葉)が広がります。Team Ki-Yanが滋賀県信楽へ出向き、60cm四方の陶板に特殊な塗料で絵つけしたという珍しい作品で、地下910mから汲み上げる自家源泉の温泉でくつろぐ人たちの心をほぐします。 屋上に移された工事中の囲い壁に羽ばたく鳩1220羽は必見。そのまま空高く舞い上がりそうなパワーを放っています。

 The newly reconstructed Hatoya Hot Spring Zuihōkaku Hotel reopened in 2014 and features Ki-Yan’s work in the large bath of the onsen (hot springs) on the top floor. Filled with water collected from 910 meters below ground, the onsen offers you an opportunity to relax while gazing upon Ki-Yan’s lucky motifs of bottle gourds, nanten (nandin) and unkin (sakura cherry blossoms and Japanese maple leaves). To create this unusual piece of art, Team Ki-Yan travelled to Shigaraki in Shiga prefecture and used a special technique to paint these lucky motifs on 60cm on 4 sides ceramic plates. While at Hatoya you can find another piece of Ki-Yan’s work: a wall painted with 1220 doves, Initially a temporary wall put up around construction work, the piece was eventually moved to Hatoya’s roof garden for permanent display.
