The Ken Iwata Mother and Child Museum on Omishima is a very strange art gallery. It’s a ring of whitewashed concrete open to the sky, peopled with statuary. There’s a considerable array of works involving nude women and children, most of which will be found evocative, not to say provocative. The interplay of art, light and nature makes it a fascinating place.

If young bottoms aren't your thing, you won't enjoy this place

Bad craziness as Hunter S. Thompson would say

The play of light is rather fantastic, especially in the evening

They went that away ... yes, that away

Ouch!

The sun beats down in summer, but I wonder what it's like in winter?

You don't have to be fully human to enjoy this

Bling! The light changes constantly
