I have made it to naoshima island where I am staying at a guest house. Sounds nice right? Its fine. Small room upstairs with mats and blankets on the floor. Toilet and sink down the hall. THE shower downstairs. I can hear you groaning. Well I must have all the experiences. This is political. When the Bennesee corporation made this a worlwide art destination they only built three tiny museums that had guest rooms. Where would all the art lovers stay? In family homes converted very simply as guest houses. So I am there. It is actually a long journey fom Tokyo. Bullet train for 5 hours. Change trains twice and then a ferry Tomorrow I explore the island and hope to chance upon many outdoor sculptures. Weaher is dreadful. Deep rain. But running into scattered art should keep spirits high. Btw there will be a lag between your comments and their postings as I have to mark them approved to prevent weirdos from bombing the blog. I am takibg a breather now. Art appreciation for the next three days.
