The polka-dot red pumpkin that welcomes you to the port.
Naoshima off the coast of Kagawa Prefecture is the island of modern art, where prominent artists’ works are attracting world’s attention. When a ferry approaches Naoshima’s front gate, Miyanoura Port, the first thing that catches your eye is the Red Pumpkin by Yayoi Kusama.
Looking closer, you will see some dots on the pumpkin are open, where you can get inside. Touching and experiencing one of the themes of Yayoi Kusama’s work is quite intriguing. Kusama herself talks about this piace in her poem “I went to the end of space, looking for the red beam of the sun. It turned into a red pumpkin in Naoshima’s sea.”
At night, it is illuminated for a different charming effect.

碼頭附近的裝置藝術紅南瓜，應該跟更名為紅瓢蟲🤭
藝術品隨處可見，文藝氣息濃厚的藝術之島。
草間彌生的紅南瓜一進到直島就可以看到，已經是這邊的招牌象徵。
