In the courtyard is a work entitled "Greenland Glacier Field" by Nakaya Ukichiro's second sister, Fujinika Nakaya, an artist known for her "fog sculptures" and other works. It is covered with approximately 60 tons of stones brought from a glacier in northern Greenland.
It is an art museum established by sculptor Isamu Noguchi before his death to exhibit his work. Visitors can see a variety of Isamu Noguchi's works inside and outside his former studio, which was converted from a printing factory and a gas station.
Mt. Fuji as a volcano, which is often forgotten when just gazing at it from afar, and the overwhelming power of the earth's workings were strongly impressed upon my mind.
nostos books, where the solo exhibition "Ishinokioku" is being held, is a bookstore that carries a variety of art books. In honor of this, we would like to introduce some books that have had a great influence on FROME.
