00:00Good morning!
00:02Good morning!
00:06We're standing still.
00:08It's a nice distance.
00:10Yes.
00:12New Project X challengers,
00:14this time,
00:16Setouchi's island, Naoshima,
00:18where the house of yakisugi making
00:20is lined up, is the stage.
00:22Naoshima is located between
00:24Kagawa and Okayama prefectures,
00:26and has a population of 2,900.
00:28It's a small island,
00:30but 7,000,000 tourists
00:32visit the island
00:34from all over the world every year.
00:36Naoshima
00:38is an island of modern art.
00:42I can see
00:44one of the artworks.
00:46Here it is.
00:48Is this it?
00:50Yes.
00:52It's an artwork
00:54made using
00:56modern art.
00:58This artwork
01:00was made by
01:02the world-famous artist
01:04Shinro Otake.
01:06It's a
01:08mysterious world.
01:10This island
01:12used to be one of the water bodies,
01:14but it was transformed
01:16by the power of art.
01:18Yes.

03:47I hid it.
03:49I didn't want to die.
03:51I hid it.
03:53I hid it.
03:55I hid it.

04:23in the island
04:25in the island
04:29There was only a factory
04:31and no future on the island.
04:36The town entrusted the reconstruction
04:38to a certain company.
04:40A local company
04:42is a local company that has been growing steadily.
04:50How can we revive Naoshima?
04:55The president, Soichiro Fukutake, thought about it.
05:01Using the art he had collected,
05:03can't we create a hotel that integrates with the museum?
05:08I thought it would touch the hearts of people all over the world.
05:15It's not just letters.
05:17I want to revitalize Naoshima.
05:21A museum hotel was created in Naoshima, Seto Inland Sea.
05:25In 1992, the art hotel was opened.
05:33The calm sea and nature will fill your heart.
05:46There was a man who bet his life on the success of the hotel.
05:55Yuji Akimoto, a graduate student.
05:5835 years old, from Tokyo University of the Arts.
06:07He was an artist who performed on the streets.
06:23His masterpiece, The Scopeman,
06:26captured the attention of the people of Naoshima.
06:39Akimoto lived with his 12 relatives when he was a child.
06:45He felt lonely because he couldn't hear his opinions.
06:53He continued to search for meaning in his art.
07:02It was like a place of my own.
07:08I tried to express it in various ways.
07:12However, even after 10 years, there was no response from the society.
07:19He gave up his path as an artist.
07:25The days of part-time work.
07:28The news of the Scopeman came to his mind.
07:33He applied to be a student at an art hotel.
07:41He was a student at the art hotel.
07:44He was a student at the art hotel.
07:47He was a student at the art hotel.
07:49He applied to be a student at the art hotel.
07:56He thought he could find meaning in his work here.
08:05It looked like a frontier.
08:08I thought it was a place to create something new.
08:11I thought it was a place to create something new.
08:20Akimoto was determined to attract tourists.
08:28If he brought in cutting-edge modern art, it would become a hot topic.
08:35He called out to his colleagues who competed with him in art production.
08:40He called out to his colleagues who competed with him in art production.
08:44He exhibited strange works one after another.
08:49He exhibited strange works one after another.
08:54However, no one came.
08:59Then, he was the next artist in the world.
09:07He brought in many top artists from overseas.
09:11He brought in many top artists from overseas.
09:19He brought in many top artists from overseas.
09:24However, there were not enough rooms.
09:29The reaction of the island was cold.
09:36When I first saw it, I wondered what it was.
09:40I thought it was a limited world for a limited number of people.
09:44I thought it was a limited world for a limited number of people.
09:49He was determined to keep the red blood flowing.
09:52He was determined to keep the red blood flowing.
09:58The board of directors had a problem.
10:01They were like, how long will you keep doing this?
10:03They were like, how long will you keep doing this?
10:06They were like, how long will you keep doing this?
10:11We couldn't persuade them.
10:14We couldn't persuade them.
10:18Four years after the opening,
10:20the business of Naoshima Hotel was shut down by three employees.
10:29Can't he be recognized here?
10:34Akimoto gave up.
10:45Akimoto was the only healer.
10:51The udon restaurant was loved by the islanders for a long time.
10:59Kagawa's udon was delicious.
11:06When I was in Naoshima, I ate udon almost every day.
11:10It was a time when I was distracted from my work.
11:15It was a time when I was distracted from my work.
11:21Four years on the island.
11:25The connection between people and the city,
11:28the peaceful time,
11:30the peaceful time,
11:33and the city.
11:37I thought,
11:40can't we create art that can only be made in Naoshima?
11:47It's important to start from the experience of being in Naoshima.
11:55I started to think that I could do that in Naoshima.
12:04At that time,
12:07a phone call came from the hotel.
12:13Can you buy a private house?
12:19It was a sincere consultation from the city,
12:22which was suffering from a vacant house.
12:27The person who answered the phone was Ryoji Kasahara,
12:31who had been in the hotel business with Akimoto.
12:35I thought it was an opportunity.
12:41Can't we develop art not only in the hotel,
12:44but also in the center of the island?
12:47It was Yasaki, who was consulting with the vacant house.
12:56There weren't many visitors to the exhibition,
12:59so I wanted to help the island
13:02so that it wouldn't affect the world.
13:10Kasahara called for Akimoto
13:13and hurried to the house.
13:21A 200-year-old dilapidated house.
13:25The inside was in ruins,
13:27and it was no longer in the hands of the old owner.
13:34But it was also a symbol of the island,
13:38which had been called Kadoya by the people of the island.
13:45Akimoto thought,
13:48if he could use this house,
13:51he could create art that could only be made on Naoshima Island.
13:57In a small island,
13:59there was a need to make a house
14:02that could live in harmony with the rest of the island.
14:06So he concentrated on that.
14:09I think he felt the greatest possibility
14:12of creating a house
14:15that could live in harmony with the rest of the island.
14:20How could he turn the house into art?
14:25The challenge to revive the island
14:28opened the curtain.
14:37Today, we are joined by Mariko Ishikawa of Naoshima
14:40to hear her story.
14:43Thank you for having us.
14:47You have a wonderful house.
14:50How many years has it been?
14:53It's been about 130 years.
14:57The project to revive the island with art
15:01has just begun.
15:04What did you think of it?
15:07We have a sense of art.
15:10When you look at a house,
15:13you look at it with a sense of art.
15:16I thought, is this art?
15:19It was an honest feeling.
15:22Did you know about the coolness of the people on the island?
15:26Yes.
15:29When I opened the door,
15:32I had the impression that it was tough.
15:35Anyway, it was rough.
15:38How did you come up with the concept
15:41of inviting guests with art?
15:44You're laughing.
15:47I don't know much about art.
15:50To be honest, I didn't know what would happen.
15:54I remember that I had to connect
15:57the feelings of Mr. Akimoto
16:00with the feeling that I had to do something.
16:03That's true.
16:06That was very impressive.
16:09I'm sorry.
16:12I've never seen that before.
16:15I was surprised.
16:18I can't even imagine it.
16:21What was Kadoya like for the locals?
16:24Of course, I often played near here.
16:27I was conscious that Kadoya,
16:30which was originally magnificent,
16:33was the place where Mr. Akimoto
16:36used to play baseball.
16:39I played baseball like him.
16:42So, for the locals,
16:45when you think of Kadoya,
16:48that building, that history
16:51came to mind.
16:54That's right.
16:57In May 1997,
17:00the Kadoya Project began.
17:07The question was which artist
17:10to entrust the work to.
17:18When I consulted with the president,
17:21Fukutake, the name of a certain person
17:24came up.
17:28Tatsuo Miyajima,
17:31a world-class contemporary artist.
17:34He had a connection with Mr. Akimoto.
17:42Mr. Akimoto and Mr. Miyajima
17:45were both from Tokyo University of the Arts.
17:48They had worked together before.
17:52Miyajima was good at
17:55works with a theme of time.
17:58I thought it was perfect
18:01for the revival of the symbol
18:04that had been inherited for 200 years.
18:12I was interested in how we would
18:15deal with Naoshima's history
18:18and how we would deal with Miyajima.
18:21I thought Miyajima would be perfect.
18:32Miyajima came to the island.
18:38Surprised by the sight,
18:41he felt uneasy.
18:46It was impossible to create a work
18:49in a place like this.
18:52I thought it was impossible
18:55to create contemporary art here.
18:58There are no people walking around.
19:01I wondered what would happen
19:04if I did this.
19:07What did I really want to do?
19:10Mr. Akimoto gave up.
19:14There is charm to this island.
19:20Joren had a casual conversation
19:23at a udon restaurant.
19:30Yujin went sea fishing with him
19:33on his day off.
19:37It's been a long time.
19:41The islanders accepted
19:44the outsider's identity.
19:51The distance between us
19:54and the people of the island
19:57is getting closer and closer.
20:00We are trying to make the island
20:03a place where people can come together.
20:08Akimoto continued to talk about
20:11the beauty of Naoshima to Miyajima.
20:17We talked about Naoshima
20:20for a long time.
20:23We talked about Naoshima
20:26and the people who lived there.
20:29We talked about what happened
20:32in Naoshima.
20:35We talked about how delicious
20:38udon noodles were.
20:41We couldn't stop talking about it.
20:44We talked about Naoshima
20:47every day.
20:51If Akimoto said so,
20:54let's do it.
20:58The two continued to visit
21:01Naoshima every day.
21:05Let's leave this place.
21:09Let's dare to show the wall of soil.
21:15From morning to dusk,
21:18we had a conflict.
21:27It was a hard day.
21:32Akimoto's neighbors
21:35came to visit.
21:40They drank tea.
21:44When it was hot,
21:47they brought tea
21:50because they were sweating.
21:53People around me
21:56became closer to each other.
21:59I felt warmness
22:02in their hearts.
22:07Miyajima had an idea.
22:14He asked people to participate
22:17in creating art.
22:30He set up
22:33125 LED digital counters
22:36in a corner shop.
22:40He asked people
22:43to set the speed.
22:47In a space where
22:50200 years have passed,
22:53people should feel
22:56a sense of belonging.
23:01I feel like I'm in Naoshima.
23:04I feel like I'm in Naoshima.
23:07I feel like I'm in Naoshima.
23:11When he called people,
23:14125 people,
23:17aged 5 to 95,
23:20came.
23:23He set the speed
23:26of people's feelings.
23:33One year after the project was launched,
23:40a 200-year-old house
23:43was rebuilt.
23:46In the water on the floor,
23:49the numbers of people
23:52with their feelings
23:55are shining.
24:00People born on the island
24:03and live on the island
24:06were sealed away.
24:10It's as if I made it.
24:13There are times
24:16when I'm engraved in it.
24:19So somehow,
24:22I feel like I'm alive in it.
24:25I suddenly thought
24:28I should set the speed
24:31of people's feelings.
24:34In that sense,
24:37I thought it was a great success.
24:40I thought it was a great success.
24:43I thought it was a great success.
24:49Akimoto found the path
24:52he should take.
24:55He brought out the charm of the island
24:58with his art.
25:02What Akimoto thought next
25:05was the development
25:08of a work of art
25:11based on Naoshima.
25:14The small shop,
25:17the barber shop,
25:20the barber shop,
25:23and the peaceful nature
25:26that supported the island
25:29continued to shine with art.
25:33Then, something surprising happened.
25:36Then, something surprising happened.
25:39We should be able to do something too.
25:42We should be able to do something too.
25:45Horiguchi and the others
25:48organized a volunteer guide meeting.
25:51organized a volunteer guide meeting.
25:54It's hard to imagine
25:57that there is a pool inside the house.
26:01They learned English
26:04and started to guide tourists from abroad.
26:11They didn't look at anything else
26:14but the fusion of the islanders and art.
26:17They attracted attention from all over the world
26:20and gradually increased the number of tourists.
26:25Naoshima is a great place
26:28and the art and the nature are great
26:31but I was told that the people are great.
26:34I was very happy about that.
26:37It's nice to be a resident of the island of art.
26:40It's nice to be a resident of the island of art.
26:43I didn't make it myself
26:46but it feels like we made it together.
26:53Akimoto strongly emphasized
26:56the importance of the art.
27:03My knees hurt when I was scared
27:06and my back hurts today.
27:09My grandmother and grandfather
27:12were very energetic.
27:18I don't know if it's called art
27:21but the spread of art is great.
27:24It's very interesting.
27:27Art is alive.
27:30I realized that.
27:38However, the Seto Inland Sea
27:41was facing a big problem.
27:49We examined the water in the rocks.
27:5320 minutes by boat from Naoshima,
27:56the island of art.
28:03The largest industrial waste
28:06in the world was discovered.
28:13910,000 tons of garbage.
28:16Environmental pollution was reported all over Japan
28:19and it was called the island of garbage.
28:28After 10 years of processing,
28:31the waste never disappeared.
28:38The president, Fukutake, thought
28:41that art could change him.
28:50He wanted to start a fight
28:53to revive the island of garbage.
29:04It was interesting that
29:07it became our project.
29:10The starting point was Kadoya.
29:13That's what you all think, right?
29:16He said it like he made it.
29:19That's great.
29:22The number of people
29:25who visited Naoshima.
29:28I thought it was great.
29:31It was a big hit.
29:34I see.
29:37I thought it was amazing
29:40that the people in the city
29:43came to Naoshima.
29:46It's not a normal commentary.
29:49It's like having tea at home.
29:52It's interesting and realistic.
29:55I think it's very interesting.
29:58He's not a writer,
30:01but he's a presenter.
30:04You have to come here to hear it.
30:07It may be different every time.
30:10Sometimes it's too much.
30:16You said you didn't understand art at first.
30:19What does it mean to you now?
30:22What do you think, Ishikawa-san?
30:25It's just one word.
30:28Once I was on a boat
30:31and someone behind me said,
30:34it was fun today.
30:37It was a couple.
30:40I was very happy
30:43that people came to Naoshima
30:46and had such a fun time.
30:49This is what you were aiming for.
30:52Yes.
30:55You get it while you're doing it.
30:58You want to stand out in art.
31:01You want to be evaluated in the art world.
31:04You want to make Naoshima a more interesting place.
31:07I was surprised by that.
31:10I see.
31:13I've always had a frustration
31:16with one-way communication.
31:19No matter what you do,
31:22whether you hit the ground or do something extreme,
31:25there's no reaction.
31:28That's the frustration.
31:31In Naoshima,
31:34people say,
31:37I don't understand art,
31:40but they treat me like an opponent.
31:43It was very interesting.
31:46You've changed a lot.
31:49I've become a rebellious person
31:52who hits the ground
31:55with a pointed scope.
31:58That's how I've changed.
32:01Will Naoshima's art be used
32:04in Teshima, also known as the Garbage Island?
32:11In the Garbage Island, Teshima,
32:14there was a man struggling.
32:20His name was Shoji Yamamoto.
32:23He was an orange farmer.
32:28He was hit in the eye by an orange
32:31in Teshima, and the salt-coated orange
32:34was damaged by the typhoon.
32:39He was told by a butcher,
32:42to erase the name of Teshima.
32:47I was told not to change the name of the orange.
32:50I was told not to eat it.
32:53I had no choice but to change it.
32:59It was hard.
33:04Yamamoto envied the liveliness
33:07of Naoshima next to him.
33:13Many tourists visited Naoshima
33:16and it became an island of art.
33:19On the other hand,
33:22Teshima's garbage island,
33:25Lettel, never ceases to disappear.
33:33A message arrived
33:36at the bottom of the mountain.
33:41Teshima can also build a museum.
33:45Teshima can also build a museum.
33:54Naoshima was hit by the typhoon
33:57and many people were killed.
34:00It was a success.
34:03I thought this was the only way.
34:08Yamamoto was fascinated by the concept
34:11of building a museum.
34:16He built a museum in Tanada.
34:22Teshima has a lot of spring water.
34:30Tanada used the spring water
34:33to expand the island.
34:37The museum was going to be built
34:40using the spring water of Tanada.
34:49Tanada was a prerequisite
34:52for the Seto Inland Sea.
34:55I wanted the museum
34:58to be the center of the island.
35:02I wanted the museum to be the center of the island.
35:05By building a symbolic museum,
35:08the whole area was going to gain value
35:11and become an attractive place.
35:14That was my image.
35:19One year until the opening of the museum.
35:22At the foot of the mountain, there was a strange phenomenon.
35:36The Tanada, near the museum, was in ruins.
35:42Even though the museum was built, the wreckage of the island was irreversible.
36:00There was no way to restore the ruined Tanada.
36:05A man's existence came to mind.
36:08Haruji Soga, a famous farmer in Kitte.
36:17As the number of farmers decreased and the number of construction sites increased,
36:23he continued to make rice.
36:28However, Soga said,
36:40It is impossible to restore the Tanada.
36:46The ruined Tanada is two times the size of the Tokyo Dome.
36:53It took at least three years to restore the Tanada.
37:02It was a mountainous area.
37:07Trees and crops were growing.
37:12The rice fields were amazing.
37:16There was nothing I could do.
37:20I was helpless.
37:25But I didn't give up.
37:31I regretted that I could only see the wreckage of the island.
37:39I couldn't stop my classmates from going out to the city.
37:50The number of farmers and fishermen decreased.
37:56The population of 3,800 was reduced to one-third.
38:03I couldn't do anything.
38:09If I retreated, I would regret it.
38:16I had no choice but to risk my life.
38:22I was in a state where I could drown or run away.
38:27I asked him,
38:30Did you think about it?
38:33He said,
38:36The future of the island is in my hands.
38:40I want you to help me.
38:43He visited his house every day and bowed his head for a week.
38:49The island was broken.
38:55I wish I could stay here forever.
38:58I can't say no.
39:03When the island called for help,
39:06The people of the island called for help one after another.
39:14I'll help you because it's a weekend.
39:18I brought a shovel car.
39:22As time went on, the number of my relatives and local farmers spread.
39:30A total of 17 people worked on the rice fields.
39:39I couldn't run away because it was what I said.
39:43I went out almost every day.
39:46When it rained a little,
39:49Some people came out to work.
39:52I went to see them.
39:55I was relaxed until the New Year.
40:00A year later, the rice fields were revived.
40:07The people of the island turned the impossible upside down.
40:16When you pass through the vast rice fields,
40:20A natural and unified museum was completed.
40:30There is only one work to be exhibited.
40:35A space where the wind of the island blows through.
40:48Water is born from the soles of the feet.
40:53Slowly,
40:55Slowly,
40:58It's coming together.
41:09I was surprised.
41:12I was impressed.
41:15The rice fields that I made from the opening part of the museum
41:22It was just time to go home.
41:27I was impressed to see that.
41:33October 2010
41:38The opening day of the Teshiba Museum.
41:44Will people come to the garbage island, Teshima?
41:51Yamamoto and Soga drank and watched.
42:15The ship came to the port with overflowing people.
42:27This year, 170,000 people visited Teshima with 1,000 people.
42:35And everyone said this.
42:40However, Teshima is beautiful.
42:52From now on, Mr. Haruji Soga of Teshima will participate.
42:59Teshima, which was once called a garbage island.
43:04When tourists come, how do they react?
43:10When tourists come to Teshima, they say,
43:14It's amazing to see from here.
43:18That's why there are 20,000 people.
43:21When tourists take a picture,
43:24They say, Here's a picture.
43:27They say, Thank you.
43:31Mr. Soga talks like his own work.
43:37It's like that now.
43:40It's like, I did it.
43:43I'm doing my own thing now.
43:46Mr. Akiyoshi, it's interesting.
43:49It's the spread of art that you were talking about.
43:53Art works are often thought to have meaning in the work.
43:58In fact, artists put it in.
44:01But it's the people who see it, use it, and cherish it
44:05that make it grow and grow.
44:08I think the people of Teshima also remember
44:12how beautiful Teshima is.
44:16That's right.
44:19Does art have the power to regenerate the island?
44:23I think so.
44:26Young people moved here.
44:29The island has changed.
44:32Hageyama Island.
44:34Now it's an island of art.
44:39It's not Naoshima in Kagawa Prefecture.
44:43It's Naoshima in Japan.
44:53April this year.
44:56I want to make the island of Setouchi in Kaso
44:59alive with the power of art.
45:04The Setouchi International Art Festival,
45:07a festival of island and modern art,
45:10has just opened.
45:17Millions of people from all over the world
45:21come to see the exhibition.
45:34He was always on our bucket list for a very long time.
45:38And now he can finally do it.
45:41Japanese style.
45:44The island of art, which started in Naoshima,
45:48is now being regenerated.
45:52It's spreading to 11 islands in the Seto Inland Sea.
46:05One of the islands that became the stage of the art festival,
46:09Ogi Island.
46:13The island was cut off by 200 people by the population,
46:17and the number of immigrants increased rapidly
46:20because of the art festival.
46:23The elementary and junior high schools that were closed
46:26have reopened, and the voices of children have returned.
46:31Ready!
46:32Ready!
46:34Good luck, everyone!
46:37Good luck!
46:43It was fun.
46:45It's nice to hear the voices of children.
46:51Shouji Yamamoto, an orange farmer on the island.
46:56There was a time when he was happy.
46:59He regained the name of his hometown.
47:06I'm so happy to be back.
47:11I'm proud of the taste, the color, and the shape.
47:23He's 92 years old,
47:25but he continues to grow oranges on the island.
47:49Next time, we'll meet the lawyers who challenged Yamikin.
47:55I won't forgive you if you do that.
48:25I swear to God.
48:28That's it!
48:31NHK special.
48:33The confrontation between the United States and China deepens the Trump administration.
48:36What is the impact on our lives?
48:39And what is the path of Japan?

48:56I'll hand you over to the police.
