An empty warehouse at the mouth of Hanya River that, unbeknown to most, stored huge nets used for fixed shore net fishing. The artist who creates art with driftwood that finds its way to him felt called to Suzu by the hut and netting abandoned by a man no longer able to put it to use. The artist covered the building with the abandoned nets and created works with them to display inside. A different time flows into the space where time had stopped.

Born in Osaka in 1971.
After dropping out of the Fine Arts Department of Osaka University of Arts, he traveled to China and, from there, wandered to other Asian countries, America, and on to Latin American.
In 1998, after moving to Wakayama City, he resumed his activities as a creative artist by using objects that drifted ashore. In 2005, he held his first exhibition in Osaka, followed by exhibitions in Tokyo and Nagoya. In 2010, he moved to Nagoya. "As I gathered the drifted items, I realized that I myself was the one drifting," says Sato. In 2014 and 2016, his remarkable life story, Travels Part 1 & 2, was published and attracted attention. As of 2020, he currently lives in Mie Prefecture.
