Echigo Tsumari Art Field

Satoyama and Art The twentieth century was the era of the city and the art of the city. However, as the city ailed, art became isolated and gradually lost its latent power to connect people to place and people to people. The nature and lifestyle of the satoyama of Echigo-Tsumari environment seems to inspire artists to recover the connections and collaborations that art once had but which has almost been lost. Artworks are dotted across approximately 200 villages rather than displayed in a single center, an “absolutely inefficient” approach deliberately at odds with the rationalization and efficiency of modern society. Wandering among artworks which emphasise the beauty and richness of satoyama and reveal the accumulated temporal layers of human inhabitation opens the senses to the wonder of existence and revives the soul.

Kiyotsu Gorge

Reviewed By 31fannyc

I think this is a must visit place to take some pictures with your family and your loved one. There is a tunnel and 4 observation decks which are built with human art and creativity. The view of the the Gorge itself is not special, but the 4 observation decks makes everything very interesting.
