Mika Ninagawa is a photographer most popular among Japanese girls. The photographs which she takes seems to be the picture that a girl nurses delusions.
She took a fashion photo and CD jacket from 90’s. A lot of models and musicians, an actress respect her, and there are many fans of women from the teens to 30 generations.
I am excited to watch the pink, red and the blue light and shade in her photograph.
What is “ami-mation” ?
It is an “Amigurumi” animation video created by illustrator Yosuke Kihara.
“Amigurumi” is a knitted stuffed doll ( knitted is “ami” in Japanese). Using wools in various colors, thickness, patterns or gages, he can create his original amigurumis. It is amazing that a pretty doll is produced with a single string of wool.
Moving and talking amigurumis - check his great “ami-mation” here.
Transforming an ordinary landscape or an indoor snap shot to unique drawings; the “print-paint” was inspired by such an idea.
The lines of “print-paint” are drawn by scratching the surface of an original photo. After coloring in the lines, done!

The Chichu Art Museum is exceptionally superb even among the great Tadao Ando’s works.
While it has its own artistic appeal, it also somehow brings out the attraction of works by Claude Monet, Walter de Maria, James Turrell and so on so splendidly.
Unfortunately I was not able to take the photos of the art works themselves, but I hope you’d enjoy the architecture of the Chichu Art Museum.
Well, there was also a little garden mimicked the Monet’s Water-Lily Pond near the Chichu Art Museum, which I found very so uncool….

The Chichu Art Museum (Studio International)
Most buildings of the Benesse House are the works of architect Tadao Ando.
And inside & outside of the buildings, you would find the various modern arts by Bruce Nauman, Walter De Maria, Cai Guo-Qiang and so on.
The concept they drive is that you’d see the entire island itself as an art space, so not only the Benesse House, but also those traditional Japanese houses preserved on the island exhibit artworks.
The rich nature of the island is also one of the important artistic elements of the Naoshima island. That is why the Chichu Art Museum has been built under the ground.
In this way, it would not spoil the beautiful natural landscape.

On the first day, we left the Haneda airport at night, and it was about 22:00pm by the time we arrived at the Takamatsu airport. Had the famous Sanuki Udon noodle and went to bed on that night.
Next morning, we were going to the Naoshima island by ferry.
