■Introduction

 Fukui Prefectural Sabae High School is a "normal school" with approximately 900 students in the regular course, the health and nursing course. At the end of June 1998, a unique and spectacular art project was completed at this "normal school".
 It began in 1995 with a stone sculpture titled "Kizamukoto (Carving)" by Takeshi Hayashi, a donation from the School Alumni Association, which was installed in the courtyard. Later, as part of the process of creating a characteristic school, a plan was born to remodel the student hall facing the courtyard where the sculpture is located into a gallery to exhibit artworks. The gallery was completed with the enthusiasm of former Principal Eiji Sasaki and the school staff, and with the growing interest of the students, under the new school education slogan: "In order to nurture human resources capable of surviving in the age of globalization, it is necessary to expose them to first-class culture at a young age and cultivate in them a rich sensitivity that allows them to honestly appreciate good things. (The Ozan Gallery was completed in December 1996. The lower part of the wall is a place for students to exhibit their works, and the upper part of the wall is a permanent exhibition space for works by contemporary artists. The concept of "art as a natural part of daily life at school" was realized.

■About the Contemporary Art Installation Project '98 at Sabae High School
 This project, an even larger initiative, was undertaken as part of a commemorative project for Sabae High School, which will celebrate its 85th anniversary next year under the leadership of current Principal Yukio Mikami, who succeeded the previous principal. This project is a further development of the Ozan Gallery, a groundbreaking attempt to permanently install artworks by outstanding artists from Japan and abroad throughout the school grounds. The entire school grounds are used as a canvas. Creating an environment that allows students to experience art in a more natural way is an important part of the process of developing their own sensibilities. The space where students spend their daily lives is filled with artistic expression that generates rich ideas. The project has become a slow and sure-footed demonstration of a unique educational approach that opens up the ability to see, think, and perceive things in a new way. In addition, the artworks installed in this project, as well as the Ozan Gallery, will be open to the public, thereby deepening interaction with the local community. And not only for education, but also to present a new way of contemporary art and provide a valuable venue for experiencing art in a new form.
