[Niigata] Hachi & Seizo Tajima Picture Book and Nut Museum

#DomesticTravelTrip

"Hachi & Tajima Seizo Picture Book and Nuts Museum" is a spatial picture book museum that was born at the "Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale 2009".

It is located in Hachi village, surrounded by a bowl-shaped mountainous terrain overlooking the Shinano River to the east in Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture.

The wooden school building of the former Sanada Elementary School that remains in the center of Hachi village is the setting for the "Picture Book and Nuts Museum".

Various creatures fly around the school building as artworks, including "Toperatoto", a ghost that eats the laughter and chatter of the children who attended the school at the time.

The school In the garden, a mother and her goat child live quietly, as if they had jumped out of a picture book.

A variety of small creatures live in the biotope, which uses fallow fields.

We enjoyed the art space, which felt like the entire village had become a picture book.
