Nihonga artist Senju Hiroshi has complete his new work for the Benesse Art Site Naoshima Art House Project, a series of permanent installations in which artists transform vacant houses on the island into artworks. Other Art House Project artists to date include Miyajima Tatsuo, Ohtake Shinro, Naito Rei, and Sugimoto Hiroshi. Senju’s work – a fourteen-panel fusuma painting – takes as its stage the main house of the former Ishibashi residence, which has been under restoration since 2006. The house will be open to the public from 6 October.
