The Art Research Center research project "Visual Culture Studies in the Domestic Sphere Utilizing the ARC Database" aims to study arts and visual culture in East Asia related to the concept of "Ie," which encompasses housing, households, family, and family genealogy within the "Domestic Sphere," juxtaposed to the "Public Sphere".

The theme of this open workshop is "Omote and Oku," which focuses on "surface and depth" aspects of spatial representations and also addresses issues of related to the physical, social, and psychological dual structure of the "Ie," with its outward-facing aspects open to the outside, and inner aspects closed off from it.
