차원이 다른 아트 앤 힐링 여행, 나오시마 포함 17개 섬에서 세계적인 아트 축제가 열리고 있어요 ~

Hello, everyone! Have you seen the Oh Yu-kyung TV episode on Naoshima, the art island? Many people expressed how deeply moved they were by this video. Surprisingly, the Kagawa Prefecture Seoul Office in Japan sent us a thank-you email. “We were very impressed with the Naoshima video you, the announcer, recently uploaded. Thanks to your warm perspective and delicate storytelling, we feel the charm of our region was conveyed even more deeply. We are sincerely grateful.” They also mentioned that they were disappointed with the reality of Naoshima being introduced like a typical tourist spot, but Oh Yu-kyung TV showcased the true essence of the art island, created by art, nature, and architecture. They also said they want to promote the art island in this direction in the future. And that’s not all. They wanted to offer a special gift to our subscribers who will be traveling to Naoshima, which is why I’m filming this video today. I’m so happy that Oh Yu-kyung TV has grown so much that we can now offer you such a gift. The British BBC named Naoshima as a must-visit travel destination for the year 2025, but why this year in particular? That’s because this year, the Setouchi Triennale 2025, a world-renowned contemporary art festival held once every three years, is taking place. If you visit this year, it will be much richer and more diverse than usual, so this would be a great opportunity to enjoy a feast of art, right? What’s more, a new landmark recently opened in Naoshima. It’s the “Naoshima New Museum,” designed by the master Tadao Ando, who has been with the Naoshima project from the very beginning. But the star of the inaugural exhibition here is, surprisingly, our very own proud artist, Do Ho Suh. Unfortunately, when I went, it was just before the opening, so I couldn’t see it. It will be a golden opportunity to experience his overwhelming installation works in person. And I just found this out, but Kagawa Prefecture, where Naoshima is located, is not just about art, but it’s also a healing spot where you can enjoy udon, gardens, and hot springs. In addition to a world-class art island like Naoshima, you can stroll through a garden that received the highest rating from the Michelin Guide, experience Sanuki udon, one of Japan’s three major udon, and relieve all your fatigue in a traditional Japanese hot spring village. Wouldn’t that be the best trip? The garden, udon, and hot springs are totally my style, just as much as art. It seems like it will be a perfect trip. And the best part is that there’s no need to worry about jet lag! Also, it’s a short travel distance. From Incheon Airport to Takamatsu, Jin Air and Air Seoul operate two direct flights every day. You can travel without any burden. Also, when you land at Takamatsu Airport, there’s a limousine bus that takes you directly to the city, which is very convenient. If you just make up your mind, Takamatsu is a place you can leave for even tomorrow. Well then, for the Oh Yu-kyung TV subscribers traveling to Naoshima, I should tell you about the special gift, right? We are giving away free tickets that allow you to appreciate the artworks to your heart’s content during the Setouchi Triennale. It seems to be worth about 50,000 won in our currency, and we will be giving two of these Art Passport exchange vouchers per person, which is a value of 100,000 won, to a total of 50 people. In the comments of the last video, I saw that many of you were planning a trip to Naoshima Art Island. Make sure to grab your ticket exchange vouchers before you go. The application method is very simple. I will leave a link with an explanation in the pinned comment section of this video. Just click the link, enter the recipient’s name, contact information, and address, and you’re done! And if you haven’t seen the “Naoshima Art Island” video on Oh Yu-kyung TV yet, please watch the “Naoshima Art Island Trip” video that follows right after this one to the end, and get a preview of the感動 of an art journey. I hope Oh Yu-kyung TV was helpful for your unique art healing journey. Please keep watching! To the end! Hello, Dream Trees! The person in charge of introducing Naoshima to Korea was moved by this video. Shall we watch this “Art Island Naoshima” episode together? I’m taking a direct flight to Takamatsu Airport. After arriving at the airport, I took a limousine bus to Takamatsu Port. When I said I was going to Naoshima Island for the holidays, many people said they had never heard of it. Naoshima is a small island about the size of Yeouido. To get to Naoshima Island, you first have to go from Incheon Airport. It’s not a widely known tourist destination, but it’s a famous spot that art lovers from all over the world visit. I’ve arrived at Takamatsu Port. Now I’ll buy a ticket at the port and board a fairly large ferry. The British BBC selected this island as one of the 25 places to visit in 2025. About 100 years ago, a copper refinery was built on this island, making it very active and prosperous industrially. However, as the industrial structure changed and the refining industry declined, nature was devastated, people left, and it became a garbage island piled with industrial waste. That abandoned island was transformed into a world-class art island through the collaboration of a publishing and culture company, architects, artists, and local residents. And they succeeded. That triangular shape looks like a Japanese rice ball, “onigiri,” so it’s called Onigiri Island. The island you see in the distance is Naoshima Island. The Benesse House Museum where I’ll be staying the first night and the Benesse House Oval where I’ll be staying the second night are slightly visible through the forest. The ferry to the island took about 50 minutes. We are arriving at Miyanoura Port, the gateway to Naoshima Island. In the distance, you can see the red pumpkin by the world-renowned Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama. It’s a very large pumpkin that allows people to go inside and see the artwork. Along with the yellow pumpkin installed on the southern coast of the island, which you’ll see later, it’s a symbol of Naoshima Island. The terminal building at Miyanoura Port was designed by the Japanese architectural unit “SANAA,” who received the Pritzker Prize, which is considered the Nobel Prize of architecture. We are taking the shuttle bus provided by Benesse House, where we will be staying tonight. Pritzker Prize winner Tadao Ando first built this Benesse House Museum 33 years ago, in 1992. We’ve arrived. This museum is a very special complex that houses both an exhibition hall displaying works by world-renowned artists and accommodation facilities. From the entrance, a characteristically skinny bust by Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti stands to greet the guests. Oh, really. I never thought I would be sleeping in an architectural space created by the world-renowned architect Tadao Ando. Ah, I’m getting excited. Wow, what is this view? So this was a place with such a great view. The Seto Inland Sea is stretching out before me. That’s the Seto Inland Sea, and that island is what the Japanese call Onigiri Island. You know, onigiri rice balls. They say it’s called that because it looks like one. This room is really so beautiful. Ah, so pretty. This space is not separated, but you can pass through it. It might be a little awkward, but I’m sure this is also the architect’s intention, right? It seems the guests in the next room haven’t arrived yet. It looks empty. Ah, this is nice. I’m sure the architect designed this table as well. You need to have furniture that matches the concept of the building. If there was some out-of-place furniture, it would really look bad, but you can tell just by looking at this that it’s furniture that Tadao Ando custom-made, right? The gray tone has an exposed concrete feel, and the materials maximize their natural properties. These materials. The slight scratches on the stand make it even more stylish. Wow, the furniture in this room is made of solid wood, and even a non-expert like me can tell that the design is minimalist with maximum restraint. How did Tadao Ando make the sleeping space so extremely minimalist? Neat and tidy, this is what you call “borrowed scenery,” isn’t it? By bringing the outside scenery directly inside, it creates a truly wonderful landscape. Because the interior is so simple rather than ornate, I think the beauty of the nature outside stands out even more. It shows Ando’s unique finish, and the walls are a bit… neatly painted with white paint, and the wooden furniture… It’s been quite a while since this was built, but because it’s made of solid wood, the traces of time have made it even more stylish. Everyone, let’s watch the sunset together. I’m all alone in this space right now. It’s 4:46 PM. Now that all the gallery visitors have left, it’s time for the overnight guests. In this empty place, there’s a welcome drink for the guests. I think they are providing this kind of thoughtful consideration for us to enjoy the quiet atmosphere. Since I came on a short trip, I hurried to see the nature, architecture, and outdoor sculptures outside the building and came out. It’s a really natural space, and the “cape,” should I say, that you see when you turn around like this? That’s so cool. When you think of a master’s architecture, you might expect something incredibly glamorous, but Tadao Ando’s architecture has nothing glamorous about it. It just reveals the natural properties of the materials and does nothing else. It’s just, how should I say, straight lines and curves, that’s it. I think this also shows a huge amount of confidence. When you’re not confident, you tend to decorate, right? Because his philosophy is so clear, there’s nothing forced or decorated. Everything is so simple. Instead, nature is highlighted. I think that’s what it is. I heard that it’s an architecture that gives you a lot of room for contemplation, and I’ve heard those words, but I think I’m really feeling it now that I’m here. The color of this iron guardrail next to me is the same as the color of the island in the distance. It’s a landscape where you can’t find any primary colors. It’s that kind of scenery. That stone wall of the building is also slightly hidden, so you can’t see it well, can you? The buildings are all hidden like this. So they don’t stand out. This view is quite nice. This cape that juts out. But actually, this kind of view… Jeju Island might have a more beautiful view, and if you go to Hallyeohaesang National Park in Korea, you’ll see a truly magnificent scenery. Here, the scenery is not particularly special, and if you look at the vegetation here, there’s not a single good-looking tree. It’s the beauty of things being left as they are, naturally. Here, on Naoshima Island, you are seeing the very scene where nature, architecture, and art are in harmony. It’s really nice. Somehow, I feel like it’s here because it has a similar vibe to Tadao Ando’s architecture. Ah, I thought it was concrete from a distance, but up close, it looks like a metal product. At the Benesse House Museum, there were many people just about an hour ago, but now that all the tourists have left, there’s a brief period of time when the guests can take a quiet stroll like this. From now on. I was wondering why this hotel was so expensive, and I guess it’s because of things like this. It’s not that the rooms are fancy or that it’s a magnificent building, but rather it provides this kind of quiet time to enjoy. Wow, the view from the stairs here is also amazing. Is this what they call the “beauty of straight lines”? I can see the Oval House over there. I’ll be sleeping there tomorrow. I find these perfectly straight lines to be very cool. Making these stairs a bit grand, and that “line of architecture” that’s partially hidden by the forest, barely visible… I think this is the most beautiful scene. The waves are so calm! The waves are so calm! I guess it’s because this is an inland sea. Should I go down further? Ah, amazing! The sea is completely jade-colored. I guess this is the pier. So you can come here to dock and get off the boat. So it’s like this, huh? This was a place to see such a view. Now I finally understand why the color of those stairs is that yellow. It’s matched with the color of this rock. The color of the rock, the stairs, and that wall over there, not the cement of the bricks, but the wall that’s built up like other stones, they’re all matched in the same color. The color of the earth, I think that’s it. Along the beach, we are heading to another of Tadao Ando’s works, “Beach.” Along the road, the rosemary is in full bloom with its lavender flowers. Next to the accommodation building, Beach, is the “Terrace” French restaurant. I’ve made a reservation here for dinner tonight. It’s another of Tadao Ando’s architectural works, so I’m looking forward to the space. Everything has Ando’s signature exposed concrete walls, and I think the wooden ceiling is meant to represent nature. The kitchen is quite busy as it’s peak time, isn’t it? The biggest feature of this restaurant is that you can look out at the Seto Inland Sea through the large glass windows. I think it gets even more beautiful as the sun sets. We ordered the French fine dining, shall we see the chef’s skills? The sunset on the way back to our accommodation, the museum, is incredible. The sunset of Naoshima that can never be captured in a video. It was truly magnificent. After dinner, when all the visitors had left, I was able to look around the quiet museum. The center of the museum is a cylindrical exhibition space made of exposed concrete. American artist Bruce Nauman’s “100 Live and Die” is on display. There’s a neon sign work where these 100 phrases related to life and death alternately flash on and off. You can also see a chair designed by Japanese furniture designer Kenzo Tange. This space is designed to allow natural light to naturally illuminate the exhibition space through the ceiling. It’s a Basquiat piece. I think this is the first time I’ve seen an original work. Such a large one. It’s a graffiti-like painting, but strangely bold? This work is by Hockney. It seems ordinary, but when you look at the colors, it’s clearly Hockney. British-born David Hockney is one of the most popular and expensive living artists. The privilege of staying at Benesse House is being able to appreciate such precious works all by myself, don’t you think? The master of monochrome who loved blue, there is also a work by the French artist Yves Klein. With such intense colors, you won’t forget the artist’s name after seeing it once. This is called a site-specific work. Rather than the work itself, when you see it with the overall architecture and nature, you can understand the true value of this work. It’s a work that really fits this space well. Most of the materials here were probably collected from somewhere. The trees that we see when we hike in the mountains, all those things were gathered and arranged neatly in a circle. This itself is a work of art. When I sit in the spot they’ve set up for viewing the artwork, I think I understand why they told me to sit here. Richard Long’s installation and paintings are displayed like this, and it continues to the circle of Tadao Ando’s architecture, the view is the best. The view from here is like that. Ah, this space is also really… What should I do? This space is also so cool. The walls are completely blocked on all four sides, but since this view is the only thing open, the walls are completely blocked on all four sides, but since this view is the only thing open, the scenery is like a work of art. So cool. It’s touching. Would this island have been as touching if I didn’t know much about art? When I think about that, I’m also studying architecture now, and I’m starting to get into and like art, so I think I’m even more moved by it. In the case of this building, the back side is just cement concrete and steel, right? There are no other building materials, but this architecture is said to be very difficult. It’s beautiful because it looks perfectly straight. It’s minimalist, and they say it’s very difficult to achieve that. It’s like it was measured with a ruler, and just… It looks like it was cut out of paper, like it was sliced with a knife, right? They say it’s that difficult. Looking at the beautiful sunset of the Seto Inland Sea through Tadao Ando’s architecture, I’m wrapping up the first day. In the next episode, I’ll be sharing the true essence of this art island, including the island’s representative galleries, the Chichu Art Museum and the Lee Ufan Museum. Last night on Naoshima Island, if you open the door and go out, you’ll find masterpieces by David Hockney, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and others. In the space designed by Tadao Ando, it was a very special experience that naturally led to contemplation. For me, who values such things highly, it was a priceless night. Today, after a light and healthy breakfast, I decided to start by seeing the symbol of a trip to Naoshima, Yayoi Kusama’s yellow pumpkin. If you’re a little late, it gets crowded with people, so it’s hard to take pictures. Kusama is a remarkable ninety-six years old this year, and she is still actively creating art. During her childhood when she was abused by her family, pumpkins are said to have given her mental comfort. If you watched the first part, you’ll have seen the red pumpkin at Miyanoura Port, the gateway to Naoshima Island, right? And next to the Benesse House where we are staying, there is a yellow pumpkin by the sea. Among Kusama’s pumpkin works, the yellow ones are by far the most popular. In Korea, a yellow pumpkin sculpture is permanently on display at the Paradise Hotel in Yeongjongdo and the Bonte Museum in Jeju Island. At Frieze Seoul last year, a large yellow pumpkin painting by Yayoi Kusama was sold for 10 billion won. In 2023, the collaboration between luxury brand Louis Vuitton and Kusama became a hot topic. Worldwide, she is probably the artist who enjoys the most popular appeal. On this trip, I encountered a wonderful work that allowed me to feel the deep artistic world of Yayoi Kusama. I’ll show you later. Since its installation in 1994, Kusama’s yellow pumpkin, which has become a symbol of Naoshima Island, is visible. Thanks to our early start, I was able to spend some quiet time alone with the sea and the yellow pumpkin. Now, leaving the accommodation, we are heading to the first museum we will visit, the Chichu Art Museum. The Chichu Art Museum opened in 2004, designed by Tadao Ando. The Chinese characters mean “in the earth.” In order not to spoil the scenery of Naoshima, the entire museum is built underground. As I was passing through the area, I couldn’t see the museum at all. From the sky, you can see the triangular, square, and rectangular museum buildings. Through gaps in the ceiling and walls, it’s designed to let in light, wind, sound, and nature. In this space, Tadao Ando created a perfectly square-looking architectural structure, and it’s like a canvas. The sky is like a work of art, and today, the cloudless, clear sky is the work of art. And the sound of birds in this space, it’s such a sweet sound of birds. You can hear the really, really beautiful sound of birds, can’t you? The kind of bird song you can feel when you go deep into the forest. Wow, this is great! Ah, I just experienced the Chichu Art Museum. I’m not allowed to take pictures, so it’s a bit of a shame that I can’t share it with you. What I saw inside was the Claude Monet gallery, James Turrell, and Walter De Maria. I just came from seeing the site-specific exhibitions of these three artists. In other words, you can think of it as a permanent gallery dedicated only to the works of these three artists. Perhaps that’s why Tadao Ando built this building in a way that allows you to feel the artists’ works more deeply and purely. First of all, I could feel through this architecture that Tadao Ando’s buildings are not spaces for living, but spaces for thought and contemplation. I just walked around, and it took me a little over an hour, but I feel like I’ve been on a long journey. For those who are curious about this feeling, there’s a museum in Gangwon-do, Korea called Museum SAN, right? The James Turrell gallery I felt there is even more overwhelming. I feel like the James Turrell gallery in Korea, at least that space, was built better. Anyway, it was a time to experience how amazing the synergy between architecture and artwork can be. It was really good. Leaving the Chichu Art Museum, I took a short break in a small garden with a pond right nearby. It’s not a Tadao Ando style garden, but I thought, “This looks familiar.” It resembled Claude Monet’s garden in Giverny, France. It felt like a miniature version of Monet’s garden, shall I say? As it happens, I went to Giverny last year, so I have a video record of it. While Monet was living and tending his garden, he painted countless water lily works. This is the pond and garden in Giverny, France. It’s so beautiful, isn’t it? It was so fragrant after the rain, and it was a large, beautiful garden with a variety of plants in bloom. Now, this is Naoshima’s little Giverny, Chichu Garden. Chichu Garden is composed of 200 species of flowers and trees similar to what Monet planted in Giverny. They recreated the nature of Giverny that Monet tried to capture in his water lily series displayed in the museum and in his paintings, so that visitors can compare them. I thought it looked just like Giverny when I saw it

00:35:48,882 –> 00:35:37,885
so I think the Chichu Art Museum’s efforts were successful. Just a 10-minute walk from the Chichu Art Museum is the Lee Ufan Museum, a world-renowned artist representing Korea. I’ve arrived at the Lee Ufan Museum. Born in Gyeongnam in 1936, Lee Ufan dropped out of the College of Fine Arts at Seoul National University and moved to Japan, where he graduated from the Department of Philosophy at Nihon University. And in Japan’s avant-garde art movement, he led the Mono-ha movement. Mono-ha translates to “School of Things.” It’s an art movement that explores the relationship between things and space. Do you know the Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto? The Japanese composer, who was impressed by cultural philosophy since his youth, and Lee Ufan’s relationship, I’ve talked about it in a previous video. The story of Sakamoto, who was battling cancer and preparing for his death, hanging a work by Lee Ufan in his hospital room. I highly recommend it to those who are interested. Lee Ufan’s Mono-ha theory, who is also a philosopher and critic, played a major role in changing the paradigm of modern Japanese art. The fact that a museum dedicated solely to Lee Ufan’s works in Naoshima was opened with architecture by Tadao Ando is due to his status in the history of Japanese art. Let me first introduce the work that moved me the most here. Between the museum and the sea, there is an incredibly large stainless steel arch and a work called “Relatum-Infinity Gate” that combines natural stone. It’s a gate that seems to lead to infinity, isn’t it? Lee Ufan’s installation works are almost all titled “Relatum.” Through this “Relatum” series, natural objects like stones and man-made objects like steel plates and glass are placed in a specific space. And within that, it deeply explores the relationship between things and things, things and space, and humans and the world. Filming inside the Lee Ufan Museum is prohibited, so I’ll explain with some archival footage. Wow, that was so good. Really. So far, I think this was the best exhibition room of Lee Ufan’s work I’ve ever seen. To be honest, before, when I saw his work, I knew it in my head, but I didn’t really understand it. In this space that Tadao Ando prepared for the artist, while looking at the artist’s paintings or installation works, it really hit me. And really, he’s a world-class artist! He’s the best artist in the world! Lee Ufan is, I can feel it. If you come to Naoshima and can only recommend one museum, I would definitely recommend this one. The best! From the Lee Ufan Museum, we are heading to the Valley Gallery, which is only a 2-minute walk away. As the name “Valley” suggests, this gallery is located in a valley. It’s a small church-like exposed concrete building that Tadao Ando built as his ninth on Naoshima Island. This Buddha statue at the entrance was made from industrial waste from Naoshima Island before it was transformed into an art island, and there are eighty-eight of them on display. It’s a work by Tsuyoshi Ozawa called “Slag Buddha 88.” What looks like eggs floating in the pond are stainless steel balls. This is Yayoi Kusama’s “Narcissus Garden,” and this work was exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1966. These stainless steel balls are installed along the valley, from the pond to the outdoor building, and there are as many as 1,700 of them. Through the numerous mirror balls that reflect like mirrors, like Narcissus in Greek mythology, you get to look at yourself. This repetitively and collectively arranged mirror ball symbolizes Kusama’s unique infinity and self-reflection, and the unity of nature and humans. Shall we go in? There are stainless steel balls here too. There’s a continuous connection. Can I take a photo? It’s so nice that you can take pictures here. Everywhere, so that I can see my reflection, there’s a stainless steel artwork, and it’s displayed in this form. Everyone, this will be a photo that I’ll treasure for the rest of my life. I existed for a moment among Yayoi Kusama’s stainless steel ball works. I existed for a moment. Narcissus Garden extends to here, and my face is reflected in each and every one of them. Narcissus falls in love while looking at his own reflection like this, right? I really want to fall in love with myself, but it’s really not easy. I want to fall in love. Ah, and the triangular sky here is reflected in this sphere and spreads out like a pond. This is the shot of a lifetime. It’s really cool. After seeing the three museums at the Benesse Art Site, we took a village bus to explore a village called Honmura on the east side of the island. This village, created in the 1600s, still has many buildings from the Edo period, so it was a nice place for a quiet walk. The Art House Project, which transforms abandoned traditional houses and shrines into contemporary art pieces after the decline of the refining industry, was being carried out in various places. These houses and shrines were serving as small galleries. As I walked around, I found many beautiful scenes perfect for Instagram, which I really liked. The unique, bubble-like building you see at Honmura Port is a bicycle storage facility designed by the famous Japanese architect Kazuyo Sejima. After spending some quiet time in Honmura, we are heading back to the Benesse House Museum to go to the Benesse House Oval, the highlight of this trip, which we were incredibly lucky to book. the highlight of this trip, which we were incredibly lucky to book. “Oval” means an oval shape. As you can see from Tadao Ando’s sketch, the Benesse House Oval is located at the top of the back mountain of the Benesse House Museum, and when you look down from the sky, you can see its unique oval shape. From the ferry to this island, you could also see the Oval peeking out from the mountain top. You go up to the Oval from the museum by monorail, and only the guests who have booked the Oval can ride the monorail, so only the guests can see the Oval site. The reason why you can only access the Benesse House Oval by monorail is… I guess the intention was to provide a space that elevates the human spirit while preserving and maintaining nature without harming it. Tadao Ando is an architect who creates spaces for thought, not spaces for living. He creates spaces for contemplation. From the monorail, you can see the onigiri-shaped island very well. Now, we’re almost at the top of the mountain. On the right, you can see the Benesse House Oval building. I later found out that a staff member who is diligently learning Korean came out to greet me. In the center of the oval-shaped building, Tadao Ando created a water garden with a diameter of about 20 meters. This water garden blurs the boundaries between the inside and outside of the building, nature and architecture, and it’s a symbolic space that captures the changes of seasons and time. Ando is an architect who uses water well. You can see such water gardens in many of his architectural works. The water intentionally overflows to create a waterfall-like effect, so the sound of the water is a bit loud. Fortunately, it gets quiet at night. Just in time for the sunset, I’m going up to the oval-shaped rooftop. Ah, this incredible panoramic view. It feels like I’m looking down at the scenery of the Naoshima Seto Inland Sea while spinning 360 degrees from above the sky. The view of the great nature from a house built in the sky. This is a scene that the world-renowned architect Tadao Ando has given me that I will never forget for the rest of my life. Everyone, this is a place that’s hard to see, so I’ll show you every nook and cranny right now. Benesse House Oval has accommodations down below. There are exactly six accommodations, and if you go up a little from there, this magnificent view unfolds. You can see the whole Seto Inland Sea right now, and because it’s an inland sea, the waves are really calm. There are no big waves, it’s just calm. So it looks even more peaceful. Right now, the sunset is falling so beautifully. Among all the hotels I’ve stayed at around the world, I think this is the most touching hotel. The inside of the room is not particularly fancy. Because here, how should I say, the architecture itself is not very visible from the outside. It’s all hidden in nature, and the room is also very… You could even say it’s simple and plain. However, I think that’s the characteristic of Tadao Ando’s architecture. It’s a space that gives you a lot of room to think. I have to watch the sunset before I go. This is the space at the very top of the hill, but on top of the hill, at the top of the hill, instead of building a huge, magnificent fortress, they created a slightly hidden space like this, didn’t they? In a way, I feel that architecture is the result of thought and the result of a certain philosophy. It’s not about trying to conquer nature, but about showing nature as it is, in its beauty. I think it’s an architecture that comes from that philosophy. There are no particularly beautiful trees here, or any particularly well-tended plants. As you can see, it’s just as it is. Nature is just as it is, but the man-made architecture has really straightened the lines. It feels like the lines and rows are well-organized. How can the straight lines be so straight? Are you curious about the interior of the Oval room? The interior was not much different from the museum. As a space for contemplation, where one thinks about a harmonious life of nature, art, and people, rather than the pursuit of desire and material things, it’s neat and clean without any frills. Perhaps that’s why in this room, I naturally found myself in contemplation without any distracting thoughts. The room itself is so simple, but the view through the large picture window was so grand and magnificent. Lying in bed, the Seto Inland Sea seen through Tadao Ando’s exposed concrete structure looks unrealistically beautiful. The fact that Benesse House was conceived and built a whopping 30 years ago, I can’t help but pay my respects to the fact that there were Japanese entrepreneurs, architects, artists, and administrators who had such forward-thinking ideas and came together. I’m secretly envious. I’m secretly envious. Hello, Dream Trees. Now I’m getting ready to leave after spending a night at Benesse House Oval. The room itself feels very simple, doesn’t it? But the view outside, this architectural view created by Tadao Ando, and if you go down at night, you can see David Hockney and other priceless masterpieces. I’m thinking, “Ah, I had a really wonderful trip.” It was a short trip, but what I felt during this trip was art, nature, and architecture, and people living in harmony like this. I felt that this is well-being, this is Benesse. Especially in the way that architecture connects art and nature, I think this trip was a journey where I newly felt the power of architecture. It was that kind of trip. Ah, but this is… I thought that this is necessary not just in Naoshima, but also in our lives. I realized that our lives also need art, nature, and architecture. If we know their importance and pursue them, I believe our environment can also change in that way. I wandered around late last night, so my voice is a little hoarse. I hope that you all, along with me, felt the power of art and contemplation more on this Naoshima Island trip, and I will continue to create good content. Thank you all for joining me.

🎨 세토우치 국제예술제 2025 ( Setouchi Triennale 2025 )

“예술의 섬–나오시마”를 중심으로, 17개 섬에서 펼쳐지는 세계적인 아트 축제,
안도 다다오, 쿠사마 야요이, 이우환, 클로드 모네, 제임스 터렐, 월터 드 마리아…
현대미술을 이끄는 거장들의 작품이 섬의 자연과 풍경 속에 스며들듯 놓여 있습니다.
무심코 걷던 오솔길 끝, 해안선 너머, 오래된 창고 안…
어느 순간 예술이 불쑥 눈앞에 나타나고, 그저 걷는 일조차 감동이 되는 섬.
고요한 바다, 한적한 마을, 그리고 눈앞에서 마주하는 세계적인 예술작품.
일상이 예술이 되는 특별한 시간 속으로, 여러분을 ‘예술의 축제’로 초대합니다.
