The teamLab Reconnect: Art with Rinkan Sauna Roppongi offers visitors a chance to sit in a sauna, take a cold shower, enjoy art and repeat.

A preview of the exhibition was held on Monday at the venue in Minato Ward, Tokyo, but it will be open to the public from March 22. The facility will be thoroughly ventilated to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and reservations will be required.

Saunas are said to produce a state of deep relaxation called "totonou" (sauna trance), which is achieved by the repetition of sitting in a room of about 100 C, taking a cold shower or bath at a temperature of about 15 to 20 C and taking a five-minute break. The exhibition aims to help visitors become more "in tune" by taking a short break in an amazing art space.
