The strange-shaped artwork "Kamaboko Curtain" appeared in the greenery of Yawatahama City. True to its name, it is a curtain-shaped monument made using kamaboko boards. This unique artwork, conceived by the local people, has an interesting origin.
Kamaboko is one of the major traditional industries of Yawatahama City. From the idea of creating something new using kamaboko boards, the Kamaboko Curtain was born. The design was selected through public recruitment, and the locals brought it to life, resulting in a masterpiece that beautifully blends tradition and modern art.
What's interesting is that the appearance of this artwork is constantly changing. The kamaboko boards are not very durable, requiring regular maintenance and reconstruction. However, this process is also part of the artwork. The act of changing and rebuilding the appearance of the artwork hand in hand with the local residents is an opportunity to deepen the bonds among people.
The Kamaboko Curtain is located about a 15-minute drive from the center of Yawatahama City, making it easily accessible. Nearby is the city's tourist attraction,
