Cultural project comes to London

UK-Japan News February 2016

Artist Saya Kubota has installed a special post office in London that accepts letters addressed to anyone or anything, The Japan Times reported on 20 January.

The “Missing Post Office” is based on the original facility—which has received 10,000 pieces of correspondence to people whose whereabouts are unknown or who have died—on the island of Awashima in the Seto Inland Sea.

Kubota, who refurbished the Awashima office and will curate the letters received in London, said: “People are connected beyond cultures. I am looking forward to reading a variety of letters”.
