Naoshima
There’s more than one emblematic pumpkin on the art island of Naoshima. A deep shade of red, this second squash is the first thing that visitors see when arriving on the island as it sits by the ferry terminal. Unlike its yellow counterpart, this enormous pumpkin is big enough to stand inside and even has round entryways for people to enter the pumpkin’s hollow interior. It’s a site-specific piece that is rooted to the ground – in other words, there’s no chance of it getting blown away by a heavy storm.
