The Ken Iwata Mother and Child Museum on Omishima is a very strange art gallery. It’s a ring of whitewashed concrete open to the sky, peopled with statuary. There’s a considerable array of works involving nude women and children, most of which will be found evocative, not to say provocative. The interplay of art, light and nature makes it a fascinating place.
