Naoshima - Art island

We were lucky enough to make a day trip to Naoshima, Japan on out trip in December. The island is littered with sculptures! What a treat! This sculpture is in the "park" at the Benesse House Museum desgined by Tadao Ando.
I just love this pic with the moon & all the holes in the sculpture. (Unfortunately it was getting late and freezing cold... so we never discovered who the author of the sculpture was...)

Lost in translation?

I went to Japan with my mom for a couple of weeks in Dec/Jan... and thought I would share these cool signs & graphics with you. As you can see the Japanese are REALLY polite and almost everything is beautifully designed!
Love the country and would go back in a flash! ; )
