In a world where words flow in and out, everyone may have forgotten their own words.
While wandering in an empty desert-like world, a large puddle suddenly appeared.
Peering in, I see my reflection in the surface of the water.
Bubbling. I listen carefully. I sink into the blue water.

At the bottom of it,
Someone who looked like me said.
“This is the inside of a book – your story,
At the bottom of the lake,
where all kinds of memories are buried, lies a fossil in the shape of a word.
Let’s talk about something and try to remember your forgotten words.”

“Cafe the Lake to Eat Words” is a cafe that serves “CooKeyWords” in the shape of various words – sweets that allow you to savor each and every word – and is an art (long-term installation) in the form of a cafe that will continue to be an integral part of our lives.
We are also a book, and while talking with visitors (between reality and imagination), we write pages every day.
In this world where words abound and flow, by taking the time to savor each word and talk to yourself, you will remember your forgotten words and body and write a new story. …… Enjoy a tour of yourself in the basement of Gion, Kyoto, a sacred sightseeing spot. Please enjoy the sightseeing tour of yourself in the basement of Gion, Kyoto, a sacred sightseeing spot.
A café where you eat words in a book, “Lake” is a wild media that reflects you – here, words for you are sleeping.

“Cafe the Lake to Eat Words” is conscious of sustainable food in this age of poverty and food crisis.
The “CooKeyWord” are made with the simplest ingredients possible, so that you can taste the words themselves.
The taste of “the meaning of words” is a taste.
These sweets are made with the same ingredients, but each word is different, and can have an infinite number of flavors.
Even the same word can have different tastes depending on the person.
Rather than simply eating a cookie, the idea is to talk to oneself, to make one’s memories (past) and imagination (future) physical in the present – to deepen and expand the present self, and to allow that imagination to ripple through the body into reality.
As long as human beings exist, eating and interacting with others will continue as sustenance for life. We may not be able to live on haze, but we may be able to live on words. One word triggers a chat that goes on forever, losing track of time…

p.s.
When the book, when the world is turned upside down, words fall in pieces from the sky and become a song – it is a “song of heaven and earth”. The music stirs the wind and the words dance in the sky, falling and piling up layers of memories again.
Then everyone forgets the words again. But no matter how many times we find the same words, the “voice” breathes new life into them. So let’s talk, let’s sing.
