Inujima

The same speedboat that stops at Teshima will later take you to Inujima in 55 mins. Sitting outside at the back of the boat was super cozy, feel the sea-breeze and sunlight on my face was somehow relaxing and comforting.

There was nothing else on the island except the Seirensho Art Museum and Art House Projects which were totally worth visting. The tickets are sell in the information center which you need only one ticket to entry them all. They gave a map with suggested route to explore all artwork accessible by foot. 

The Seirensho Art Museum took place where hundred years ago, it was a copper smeltery that was shut down due to the dramatic decrease of copper price in the modern era. According to that, the island has been deserted until recently. The architect, Hiroshi Sambuichi, designed from the existing to create the project that brought together architecture and other natural energies to reduce the burden on the environment, and art by Yukinori Yanagi. For further information, go here.
The art exhibited inside was impressive. The artist use the mirror back and forth in a maze-like path, every time you look back, you'll see the burning sun behind you, and while you're walking, the open sky is right before you. They don't allow picture inside so...

Inujima Art House Project, was also funded and run by Benesse Inc. It is developed by Yuko Hasegawa, as the art director, and Kazuyo Sejima, as an architect. Three of them were specially designed for art displays, F-Art house, S-Art House, and I-Art house. A-Art house and C-Art house were opened later with works by five artists.
Even if I don't have much knowledge about art, I did enjoy very much of them. Plus, a small cafe&restaurant near the last art house project was very nice. I had Spinach, Bacon and potato pasta which served in a japanese craft plate, very kinfolk-like. lol.
