"A gigantic polka‑dotted pumpkin sculpture by Yayoi Kusama installed in 1994 on the edge of a fishing pier on Naoshima Island. Its vivid black spots and incongruous seaside siting helped launch the island as a contemporary art destination and remains an enduring symbol of its artistic identity." - Pip Usher
