Teshima Art Museum

Japan, 761-4662 607 Toshima Karato, Tonosho-cho, Shozu-gun, Kagawa Prefecture

The Teshima Art Museum was built by artist Rei Naito and architect Ryue Nishizawa on a small hill in Toshima Karato overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. Together with local residents, the rice terraces that had been left fallow were regenerated, and a building shaped like a water drop was erected on a corner of the vast site. The space is 40 x 60 m wide and has a maximum height of 4.5 m. It has a concrete shell structure with no pillars, and the surrounding wind, sound, and light are directly brought into the interior through two openings in the ceiling, creating a natural atmosphere. It is an organic space where the building responds. In the interior space, a "fountain" is born throughout the day. The landscape conveys endless expressions as the seasons change and time passes. Teshima Art Museum requires advance reservations (online ticket system).
