[in Japanese]
Many ships come and go through Ondo Straits which has only 70m (=76yards) width.
In Ondo area contemporary art event of Hiroshima City University was held in summer 2004.

The concept of the art event was to communicate with Genius Loci of old houses. I felt some works integrated old houses successfully. (There is no photo of art works bacause of artists' rights.)
