On Naoshima, Yayoi Kusama’s “Pumpkin” is a bold pop-art landmark for close, graphic compositions. The mirrored/painted surface catches ever-changing daylight, letting photographers shoot clean reflections and color-saturated details against the island’s quiet, minimalist surroundings. Best in late afternoon for softer light; visit early/weekday to avoid tour crowds. Free to view outside; access depends on current Naoshima exhibit routes and ferry/bus schedules.
