Sunset Village Sculpture Symposium

This year again, works by Yoichi Okumura, who lives in Miyazaki City, have come to Gokasecho✨
These gentle pieces reflect Okumura’s warm personality😊

Although stone is usually thought of as hard, he can express it so softly😲
Looking at the works gives you a cozy, warm feeling🥰
A picture book about a snowman was also placed there to help visitors feel a little cooler⛄

You could also watch the creation process👀
The stone’s sheen is different before and after, isn’t it!? (Maybe it’s the photographer’s skill…😅)

By the time he arrived in Gokasecho, he had already created about seven pieces✨
He is expected to dedicate a work to Furudono Shrine again this year, which is something to look forward to🎵
You can see the exhibition and Okumura’s working process below Furudono Shrine💡

He is scheduled to stay in Gokasecho until September 3, but since there will be tidying up and other tasks, it might be best to visit in August😊
*Note: Okumura will be absent on August 7.*

Summer has arrived 🌻 Last week Gokasecho saw many rainy and cloudy days, but this week the weather has been pure summer ✨ with the sun dazzling every day 😎 I drove out to Shirataki to look for a bit of cool air 🚗 Just watching the water fall from a drop of about 20 meters felt refreshing 😊 Along the way there was a sunflower field in full bloom 🌻 It was a spot I’d never known about before, so I felt like I’d discovered a great treat 🎵 People often picture Miyazaki Prefecture as hot, but Gokasecho sits surrounded by high mountains ⛰ Because of that, average summer temperatures are a few degrees lower than other parts of the prefecture, and mornings and evenings can be chilly enough to need a light blanket. Many nights you can sleep soundly without air conditioning 😉 (Last night was actually quite cool and I slept under a blanket 😅) Escape the summer heat and come refresh your body and mind in Gokase this summer ✨
