At "EN TEA HOUSE," when you make a cup of tea, flowers begin to bloom in the tea. The flowers will continue to bloom endlessly as long as there is tea. The tea in the cup becomes an infinite world where the flowers continue to bloom. This is a tea house where you can drink this infinitely expanding world as it is. This is a collaborative work between EN TEA and the art group "TeamLab."

About the work
Flowers Bloom in an Infinite Universe inside a Teacup
teamLab, 2016, Interactive Digital Installation, Endless, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi
When tea is made, flowers begin to grow and bloom in the tea bowl. If you pick up the tea bowl and move it, the flowers scatter and the petals spread outside the bowl. As long as there is tea in the tea bowl, the flowers will continue to grow and bloom.
The work comes into being when there is tea in the tea bowl. When the tea is drunk and gone, the work ceases to exist.
Because tea is a liquid and a transformative entity, the amount of tea in the tea bowl changes the level of the water, and accordingly, the size of the flowers that bloom also changes. If the tea is spilled from the tea bowl, flowers will bloom there again.
Flowers bloom throughout the year, depending on the month and the area.
The artwork is rendered in real time by a computer program. It is not a pre-recorded image that is played back. The artwork as a whole is continually changing due to the interaction of the viewer, and previous states can never be replicated. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.
