The third staging of the art project launched in 2007 that takes the city of Hiroshima as its stage. This year the Yoshijima area is liken to a treasure ship, which visitors tour ‘treasure-hunt’ style, looking for artworks scattered throughout. Participating artists include Hirano Kaoru, Kaneuji Teppei. Mizukawa Chiharu, Tanaka Iichiro, and Antenna among others. The project is organized by artist Iwasaki Takahiro and CA+T (Division of Contemporary Art and Theory, Faculty of Art, Hiroshima City University).
