Hekikan Viewing Machines and Image Collection Reels:
In Zen Buddhism, the term heki-kan (literally “wall-viewing”) refers to the act of meditation –
freeing yourself from distractions and focusing your mind to re-discover your original heart. The Hekikan Viewing Machines engage the viewer with 7 Kojun images, presenting each alone in a black void focusing the mind into an isolated meditative experience of the work. Each piece is unique, created using a View-Master® toy refinished by Kojun working with traditional craftsmen in materials including urushi lacquer, gold and silver leaf, Japanese washi paper, and other precious materials.
The result is sculptural objects through which we can experience the sacred beauty of the everyday in a meditative ritual helping us to re-discover the innocent childlike state of our original hearts. Each signed and numbered viewer comes with the customer’s choice of three 7-image reels and is presented in a traditional kiri-bako paulownia wood display box. Customers can also select their choice of viewer finish and reel images.

Presentation
Kojun is a self-taught American multimedia artist born in 1977 who lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. Working on his life experiences in Japan and building on his original university studies focusing on Japanese society, religion, and aesthetics, Kojun’s work explores the experiences of beauty glimpsed in everyday life.Having focused at university on Japanese society, religion, and aesthetics, he returned to his studies in Japan to pick up threads from Zen spirituality, Japanese aesthetics and the conception of mono-no-aware: the transient beauty of the ever-changing world. He continues to expand his perspective with resonant ideas from other traditions such as Daoist, Stoicism, and Neoplatonic philosophy. In these explorations, he has found all pointing in a certain direction: Showing a way forward by awakening to the beauty in every moment. Moving into visual expression in multiple media starting in 2019, this way of thinking is expressed in his artist’s name Kojun, written using characters conveying the idea of illuminating and enriching the soul. He seeks to engage with soul-enriching experiences of beauty in everyday moments. Realized in a variety of media, the pieces he creates are meant to serve as tools for the heart, objects for contemplation as markers on the path to illumination.
