A secret base, a hideout, a safe house, a fortress, the Showa Base Camp in the Antarctica, a place in our memory and so on. To me, a kichi, or a base, is a shape of some kind of hope, or a niche: there are 14 kichi altogether in Kirishima. Two of them are box-like instrument shelters containing equipment for communication between the inside and outside of the museum. Another set of communication equipment is a pair of portable ones with which people can walk around with for exploration.
The remaining 10 metal skeletons are also kichi (bases) of various shapes. In a kichi, people are there; they touch it, feel it, sit on it, climb it, lick it, hit it and thus bring it to completion as a work of art. So enter and sit on it, climb it and look at the sky. Then you will feel the trees in the woods. That is what kichi are for.
