408.YUKI OKAWA

elephant room

There are 10 reliefs on the walls of Taisyakuten and you can find one relief of Samantabhadra riding on a elephant among those reliefs.

Taisyakuten is also a god who rode on an elephant, which is a symbol of enterning the womb in Buddhism.

I believe elephants are the animals who lead us to many places and a symbol of a new beginning.

I strongly hope that this room will become a symbol of this hotel and lead all guests and workers to wonderful places.
