The glass pyramid is the center of the park's cultural activities and a monument that symbolizes the park. It reflects the outdoor environment directly, and in summer you can enjoy the blue sky cut by the beautiful lawn, and in winter you can enjoy the beauty of the entire snowy field as if you were integrated with the scenery of the park.
The atrium made of glass is not a quadrangular pyramid when you hear it as a “pyramid,” but a complex form that combines a triangular face with a side of 51.2m, a quadrangular pyramid, and a cube. Despite its shape, it is a tribute to the glass pyramid of the Louvre Museum (Paris, 1989) by the architect IM Pei, a young friend of Noguchi who was building at the time of the design.

Behind was the boat that we were waiting. The fall colour gave this image a punch with line direction from both sides to deeper end with depth.
