Nagoro "Scarecrow" Village

Local Pick
Overview
Isolated village with scarecrows representing former residents, including a classroom of "pupils".
A remote mountain village where handmade scarecrows outnumber living residents, created by a local artist to represent former community members who moved away or passed on. The life-sized figures populate a school classroom, bus stop, and fields, creating an eerily poignant scene of rural depopulation. The surreal village has become an unlikely art installation and social commentary.
