Stopped at Kobe on route to Kyoto to find it was the Kobe Art Biennale - situated on 3 sites I managed to visit the one in the port's Shiosa Park and one in the main venue featruring art in 30 or so mock, to-scale containers.
Mainly Japanese artists with a sprinkling of other Asian and European artists.
Shared the bullet train with this mystic man and his stick ...
These figures glow in the dark - Shining Person by Yoshihide Ito
Port Giraffe by Tomoyo Ishikawa - cranes not in use in a port are often described as giraffes.
Surveyor by Kouji Kakuno
Scrapheap Tower in Kobe by Yuhei Higashikata
Small City by Taebeom Kim
Talking Heads by Shin Ubuki
Really liked this container by two Finnish artists, Mikko and Terhi Sallinen - called Ten Thousand Thoughts it made excellent use of the space, LED lights and of old colour photo negatives.
