| Prelude before stepping into Noguchi World |
Reservation required so you need to prepare in advance but worth visiting. Isamu Noguchi said art has to be a gift to future generations otherwise it's not worthwhile. The place is inspiring and peaceful. The museum under the same name in Long Island, New York City, came first. This museum opened after Isamu's death in accordance with his will.
Leave big cities and come to Shikoku, where many pilgrims wearing a white costume and a light brown conical hat are frequently spotted. They are visiting all or some of the 88 temples established in Shikoku in the 9th century by Kukai though their seriousness will vary in level. But they all would like to know themselves more I believe.
How Isamu spent his days in Mure I wonder. Having two cultural backgrounds and a complicated relationship with his Japanese father must have affected him greatly; sometimes in difficult ways because of the times he had to live through and other times as blessing.
