Update: NAKAGAWA Miku with EiM: The operating hours of the "Protopia Going Train" have been decided!

Ahead of the "Forest Art Festival Okayama, the Land of Sunshine" 2027 to be held in the fall of 2027, participating artist Mika Ninagawa with EiMThe pre-released work "Train to Protopia" has been confirmed for operation!

Set against the backdrop of the Tsuyama Line and Kishin Line, which run through the lush northern part of Okayama Prefecture, the artwork features trains adorned with vibrant flowers. The artwork also incorporates photographs taken in the northern part of the prefecture, and as the trains move, they resonate with the surrounding scenery, creating a new landscape.

This work is not yet complete; it is scheduled to undergo further developments in preparation for the art festival in the fall of 2027. The process of evolving towards the art festival itself is one of the great attractions of this work.

Be sure to hop on the "Train to Protopia" and enjoy a special art experience.
