Surrounding Environment
Shodoshima is the second largest island in the Seto Island Sea. In a calm sea with relatively low rainfall levels and moderate climate, the island has been well known for its traditional stone dealing and recent olive industry. In recent years, many modern art museums opened in neighboring cities and islands (Takamatsu, Teshima, Odeshima, Naoshima, etc.) have come into the limelight.
Access
By car from Tonosho port in Shodoshima Island.
History
This project was originally launched to re-utilize the closed Togata Elementary School in Tonosho-cho in Shodoshima, but after the school became unavailable due to its insufficient quake-proof reinforcement, the project started its activities without fixed facility and venue.
