Wall Art
Kurima Island is a small and quiet island.
Mount Otake, agricultural land, ancient Shinto rituals, and the island’s way of life –
Here are the "treasures of the island" that the people of the island have been guarding for decades and hundreds of years.
In recent years, the number of people visiting the island for weddings and tourism has increased, and while this is a welcome development, we have also seen instances where cultural and natural heritage is being damaged.
Therefore, this project was created with the important principles of “rules,” “application,” and “dialogue” in mind to ensure that the people of the island and those visiting can interact with each other in a pleasant way.
This wall art and the plantings are designed to enhance the beauty of the island while conveying the message of "Welcome to Kurima Island" to those who visit.
To cherish the island's natural beauty.
Paying respect to the island's culture.
And the warmth that people feel when they connect with each other.
We hope that this art and green photo spot will serve as a catalyst for protecting the future of Imabari and passing it on to the next generation.
Together with the Kurima Island Association

About applying for photography

There are many beautiful sights on Kurima Island that symbolize “love.”
The blue sea of Miyako, the swaying sugarcane leaves in the wind, the kindness of the island’s grandparents and grandchildren, and the smiles of the island’s people –
All of these are places that are deeply engraved in the hearts of couples who visit.
The Okinawa Resort Wedding Association does not simply want to create "beautiful photo spots."
While preserving the island’s culture, we want to create an environment where couples and island residents can enjoy each other’s company.
I hope that the filming in Kurima Island will not destroy the island, but instead become a “cycle that enriches the island.”
Therefore, part of the photography application fee is used to support initiatives to protect the island’s natural environment, such as the conservation of the Yasinani, the cleaning activities of the elderly, and the reward (pocket money) for helping with grass cutting and cleaning.
As more people visit the island, the island also becomes more prosperous.
We want to cherish this cycle together with the people of the island.
Through the power of art, we create “memorable and special experiences,” while simultaneously passing on the natural beauty, culture, and way of life of Kurima Island to the future.
This project embodies such a dual desire.
We want to continue to make Kurima Island a place where everyone who visits it will feel like they want to come back.
For that future, we will continue to walk with the island.
