What do AKPers do during their Fall Break? Travel, of course! ✈️
Chavia Liu traveled to the Benessee Museum and Ritsurin Garden. On Naoshima, she had a chance to see one of Yayoi Kusama’s famous “Yellow Pumpkin”s. At Ritsurin Garden, she enjoyed the garden view from a tatami room.
Andie Nakahira visited the Setouchi islands including Naoshima, Awashima, Ogijima, Megijima, and Honjima to enjoy the Art Setouchi Exhibits. She shared photos of two pieces: the “Captain’s Hut” by Soko Labo, which is a captain’s hut decorated with colorful waste from the sea, and “Bottom Sky” by Alexander Ponomarev, which is meant to reflect how the ship seems to be made from sand.
