直島
Naoshima is a very small island in Japan's Seto Inland Sea, part of Kagawa Prefecture and only 7.8 square kilometers in size and a population less than 4,000 people.
Since 1989 the island has developed a series of art spaces in a natural setting - the Benesse Art Site Naoshima.
Artists and architects including Tadao Ando, James Turrell and Cai Guo-Qiang have contributed to Naosima's unique environment.
