All Reviews of Red Pumpkin

Finally got to see the red and yellow pumpkins! One of the things I was most looking forward to when visiting Naoshima for the Setouchi Triennale was seeing these pumpkin installations designed by Yayoi Kusama in person. The moment I stood in front of them, I immediately switched into “photo mode.” Whether from the front, the side, or farther away, every angle looks good! The brightly colored pumpkins against the endless Seto Inland Sea, with the blue sky, ocean, and artworks all coming together, make every casual shot look like a postcard. Even if you miss the art festival, there’s no need to be disappointed—the pumpkins are permanent installations, so they’ll be there whenever you visit!

Finally got to see the real thing.
The moment you get off at the port, this bright red pumpkin is the first thing you see, warmly welcoming everyone. It instantly puts you in the mood to appreciate art.
When we stepped inside the pumpkin, we could really feel the unique interplay of light and shadow.

The bright red with black dots really stands out, even from far away.

The Red Pumpkin art installation near the port really stands out. Honestly, it should be renamed the Red Ladybug 🤭

You can find art everywhere here—this island is full of creative vibes. Perfect for art lovers!

You can spot Yayoi Kusama's Red Pumpkin as soon as you arrive on Naoshima. It's already become a symbol of the island.
