On the island of Naoshima solitary was found amoungst Monet and the the genius architecture that is Tadao Ando.

The art program in Naoshima aspires to put into practice two ideals. Firstly, "a good community makes a good country and a good culture" and secondly "(the) economy is a servant to culture"- a plea to use corporate profits responsibly.

Whilst some may disagree the program continues. Reasoning? It is because in spite of diversity of values the people of the island are confident. Confident that the viewing of art stimulates people to think about what wealth really is.
