The short version
The Tottori Sand Museum marks its 20th exhibition with towering sculptures inspired by Spain
Tottori – Ephemerality and fragility are often evoked by sand: children’s sand castles, waves washing away messages on the beach and the sands of time in an hourglass. In Tottori, however, sand is for creating and remembering
The prefecture is known for its sand dunes and the Tottori Sand Museum, which this year marked a milestone of 20 years of transforming sand into monumental sculptures, similar to how Sapporo has been using Hokkaido’s snowy winters with its Snow Festival
