Our Mission

Passing down of Japanese culture is facing limitations within the current system. We, Art thousand, consider such situation to be a critical social issue and set out to resolve it collectively.


All comes to nothingness. Trees decay. Rocks spall. After cycles of regenerations and circulations, they will reborn just as a drop of rain, that moisten the moss of a garden, then eventually seeping into the layers of solid soil, deep down the ocean. 


We extract the essence of the culture rooted in the history, and express it in the form of contemporary art. Through the sustainable cycle of economy, we aim to create an organically grown, ever-expanding entity. That entire structure is what we propose as the Scheme Art.

Perceiving the Existence of Things

The term “Traces” (“Konseki” in Japanese) includes the meaning of the impact left across time and space. Even events from the past that have disappeared from existence continue to affect the present, and through traces, we can perceive the existence of things. This concept is often associated with the idea of "Ephemerality" (“Setsuna” in Japanese) and even in fleeting events that pass by in an instant, we can grasp the entirety of the event through the traces it leaves behind. These concepts are used in various fields such as Japanese aesthetics, philosophy, religion, literature, and historical events.

In modern society, it remains an important concept, and it is said that we can understand the essence of things by understanding the impact that past events or things have had on the present. We explore the essence of Japanese spirituality and aesthetics through Traces and engage in artistic approaches and the creation of the art scene.
