Missing Post Office, Art installation in Awashima, Japan
The Missing Post Office occupies a former postal building where tin boxes filled with letters hang suspended from wires, creating wave-like sounds.
The installation, established in 2013 by artist Saya Kubota for the Setouchi Triennale, transformed a fifty-year-old post office into an artistic space.
Letters without recipients find their place in this installation, where visitors can read through the collection and take home messages they connect with.
The installation opens every Saturday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, with an entrance fee of 300 yen and requires a ten-minute walk from Port Awashima.
Mr. Nakada, the previous postmaster of Awashima Post Office, continues to manage this artistic space that receives hundreds of letters from across Japan.
