Spiritual Science

Introduced by architect and artist Yukinori Maeda in 1997, Cosmic Wonder is a Japanese art organization exploring the concepts of light and universal love through three independent projects: COSMIC WONDER art project, COSMIC WONDER Light Source fashion project and COSMIC WONDER FREE PRESS book project with the Zurich publishing house Nieves. Drawing on Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual science as well as the ever-expanding human awareness of the macrocosm, the miscellany of Cosmic Wonder activities disorients people, making them abandon their expectations and take on spontaneous experiences. For me, simply making an interview with Cosmic Wonder, an anonymous group of artist-cosmologists “from 7 to 21 people depending on the time of the year”, was an escapade of this kind.



"Our most recent project with COSMIC WONDER Light Source is The Solar Garden. It is an ecological lifestyle project inspired by the harmonious energy of the Earth and its plants, resulting as a collection of daily and dance clothing made of organic cotton. All products are hand-dyed with herbs such as akane, gardenia, pomegranate, mulberry leaf, rose bengal, catechu, and natural indigo. With The Solar Garden, we want to promote environmental preservation and sustainable ways of making things."
