Concept丹銅が黄金色に輝きながら立ち上がった高さ3.4mの門。最初は二つの角柱が垂直に立ち上がり、上部にきてそれが前後にねじれながら曲線を描き一つになる。柱の部分もねじれの部分もいくつかのパーツで重ねたり接続されてつくり上げられており、秩序と調和のとれた(コスミックな)門となっている。水中に立つと水の揺らぎなども本体に映し出され太陽光線の微妙な移行とともに無限の変化を周囲にふりまく。第11回神戸須磨離宮公園現代彫刻展で宇部市野外彫刻美術館賞を受賞した。

The gunmetal gate glitters in gold, raised to a height of 3.4m. Two prisms stand erect from the ground but start to twist in the upper part and finally unite with each other at the top end. Both the prisms and the twisted top are made of several overlapping and welded parts to form an orderly and harmonious (cosmic) gate. As it stands in the water, the shimmering water surface, forever changing with the light of the sun traveling the sky, is reflected on the sculpture to envelop the entire space in the infinite transition. The artwork is the winner of Ube City Open-air Sculpture Museum Award at the 11th Biennial of Contemporary Sculpture Exhibition at Suma Rikyu Park, Kobe.
