A Journey to Explore Oshima Island Through Art: A Special Tour with an Official Art Festival Guide
This one-day tour, guided by an official art festival guide, offers a rare opportunity to explore Oshima Island, a place with special significance in the art festival, and reflect on the life that continues there today while learning about the history of Hansen’s disease (leprosy). Through art, you’ll gain valuable insights into the ongoing life on the island and its history of forced isolation.
On this tour, you’ll walk through Oshima Island and experience Tomoko Konoike’s artwork "Ringwanderung," where you can walk the newly restored " Souai-no-michi(Path of Mutual Love)," once traversed by former residents. Additionally, you’ll enjoy an exclusive viewing of Konoike’s 2022 work, Stairs Down to the Beach Below the Cliffs — an artwork available only on this official tour.
For lunch, a seasonal bento prepared by Japanese Cuisine Kinoshita will be provided.
