“Shinkamigoto Town” is located in the northern part of the Goto Islands, the westernmost island of Kyushu. The cross-shaped island is dotted with 29 churches and is known as the island of prayer. Built by believers who have endured the crackdown on Christians as a proof of freedom of religion, the church is still surrounded by the pure light of the earth, the clear blue sea, and the magnificent sky, and still has a majestic atmosphere.
A video introducing Shinkamigoto Town has been delivered, so please take a look.
Part 1 is “Kamigoto Tomosumigo”. It is a walk through the cobblestones of the important cultural landscape and the harbor where you can feel the sea breeze, through the side streets of the ruins of a kindergarten and elementary school, and to a hidden view spot. Is this Japan? Please enjoy the different space.
Part 2 is “Hinoshima Arifu” (planned).

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
