NAOSHIMA NOTE is a quarterly magazine published by Benesse Art Site Naoshima, introducing our activities on the islands of Naoshima, Teshima and Inujima. With a broad coverage of artistic and architectural initiatives, this publication also documents the transformations taking place in the local context of the islands and aims to engage readers to feel, to think and to act.
*The publication of NAOSHIMA NOTE has been temporarily suspended from the MAY 2017 issue, resumption thereof will be announced on our website.
