Tottori Sand Dunes The Sand Museum
The world’s first museum, curating sand creations. It is produced by Katsuhiko Chaen, who was selected as “100 Most Respected Japanese People.” He invites sand sculptors from all over the world to display sand sculpture at the global top level.
The Tottori Sand Dunes felt like stepping into a boundless world.
The wind was strong, and the sand was so fine. Every step left a mark, only to be quickly erased.
That soft feeling of sinking into the sand made me want to slow down, but also keep walking forward.
Seeing the desert and the sea in the same view was really something special.
I originally thought The Sand Museum would just be about sand sculptures, but the works in front of me were unbelievably detailed. The expressions on the faces, the layers in the folds of clothing, and even the depth of light and shadow were all created entirely from sand.
