 *Main Artwork of Ogijima

 [Ogijima's Soul] by Jaume Plensa

 This work was created for the Art Setouchi Triennale 2010. The words of 8 languages adorn the white roof of this conch-like building that is itself a work of art itself, has become a symbol of the island, used as the Visitor Welcoming Center.

 [Takotsuboru] by TEAM OGI 

 This work was created for the Art Setouchi Triennale 2019. This acts as a playground for the growing number of people moving to the island and children.
