Stopped by the Hamada Childrens Art Museum to check out the latest exhibit, owing much to Christo methinks.
The building is covered with 53,000 handerkerchiefs knotted together. Each handkerchief measures 30cms by 30 cms.
Its part of Tsunaide Aato ( Connection Art) a collaboration between 6 Japanese artists.
On Saturday the hankies come down off the building and then the garden and grounds of the museum will be covered in hankies.
It makes for some interesting light inside the building.
Hamada Childrens Museum of Art is located on the hilltop next to the University of Shimane, overlooking downtown Hamada.

ReplyDeleteThat in un-freakin-believable. If any one had told me about a hankie covered building I would have thought they were pulling my leg.
ReplyDeleteThere's no doubt something amazing to find in Japan every day... if you look.
Wonderful! Thanks to Lis for getting me to your site. I have been lucky enough to visit Japan once, and would love to go again.
