Islands of Aichi: Himakajima あいちの離島:日間賀島
Did you know that Aichi Prefecture
has a number of islands that you can
get to in under two hours from
Nagoya? Himakajima (日間賀島),
Sakushima (佐久島) and Shinojima (篠
島) are also great places to get away
from the hustle and bustle of
everyday urban life, either for the day
or overnight.
This issue we take a look at
Himakajima.
Himakajima, known as the closest
island to Nagoya, is located in
Mikawa Bay (only around 80
minutes), 2.4 km off Morozaki at the
tip of the Chita Peninsula. A treasure
trove of delicacies from the sea, the
The super-cute big octopus
monument at the West and East
island is sometimes referred to as
ports. (Photo: West Port)
'octopus island' or 'fugu (pufferfish)
island,' and visitors are greeted by a large octopus monument
upon arrival, and octopus
and fugu can even be
found on manholes around
the island.
Come November, the sight
of dried octopuses swaying
in the breeze can be seen
here and there around the
island. It is said that these
stretched and dried
octopuses are the origin of
Hoshi-tako (dried octopuses)
the expression
'hippari-dako' (ひっぱりだこ, lit. 'pulled octopus'), meaning 'to be in
great demand.' At New Year, they are presented as offerings to
the patron deity to pray for bumper catches, the safety of one's
family, and good health. It is from this that the island gets one of
its other names, 'Tako-no-shima' (多幸の島, lit. 'island of much
happiness,' but with the same pronunciation as 'octopus island.').
Himakajima's Fugu
The winter months are the best
time for fugu. The season for
fugu cuisine begins in October.
As the weather gets colder,
fugu becomes even tastier.
On October 12, the 11th Tessa
(thinly-sliced fugu sashimi)
Arrangement Contest was
2015 Tessa Contest winning entry (Floral Category) held, with free bowls of fugu
soup for visitors. Visitors using the West Port were asked to vote
to select the winners from among the 18 entries.

website for details). Travel agents
including Meitetsu World Travel (名
鉄観光) also offer packages with or

January Highlights - Please note all prices, dates, times, and locations are subject to change Matsuzakaya Art Museum: Kaiyodo Figure World 松坂屋美術館「海洋堂フィギュアワールド」
Beginning in 1964 as a tiny model shop in Osaka, Kaiyodo became a meeting place for fans of plastic models. Their production of figures (フィギュア / figyua) began when they started producing figures of characters they themselves wanted as
small lot "garage kits," before their phenomenal shokugan (食玩 / snack & toy) figures. Figure modeling later came into
fusion with otaku culture, and international recognition as works of art came through Kaiyodo's collaboration with artist
Murakami Takashi. The company has also striven to develop new products such as the Capsule Museum and Capsule Q
Project series. Not only is this the story of Kaiyodo, but also an opportunity to reflect on how the figure came to assume its
place in culture. Commemorating Kaiyodo's 50th anniversary, this exhibition presents the company's history and transitions
through a wide variety of works, from the early days through to some of the most recent products. The creations of model
artists responsible for works that have attained the status of art internationally are also featured.

Rarities from the Tokugawa Art Museum 知られざる徳川美術館コレクション 珍品・奇品・迷品!?
The Tokugawa Art Museum has continually striven to introduce select
artworks gleaned from regular surveys of its holdings. Yet there are
objects that have been difficult to display in the standard exhibitions
centered on the samurai culture of the Edo period. Indeed, there are
many that have never been displayed. There are others that have only
been mentioned in written commentary. This exhibition will debut some
of these unfamiliar works.
When: Tue. 5 Jan. to Sun. 31 Jan. (10:00 – 17:00; Last entry by

Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art: The Secret
of Picasso's Genius 愛知県美術館「ピカソ、天才の秘密」
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) created numerous artworks with superhuman
creativity, an artist truly worthy of the label of "genius." Focusing on his
Blue (1901-04) and Rose (1904-06) periods, this exhibition presents the
first half of his life, from his boyhood to Cubism. Assembled with the
cooperation of galleries and private owners not only in Japan, but around
the world, this is a precious opportunity to reexamine Picasso's work
from this period, more than one hundred years after the Blue and Rose
periods, and his spearheading of the Cubist movement.
