Just some roofs in Ogichō.    

  One of the cutest new Setouchi Triennale artwork on Ogijima is Houses of Light by Arthur Huang. I won’t describe the work, Arthur did it much better than I ever can in the interview he gave me back in February, this post will mostly be about showing you what

    So today was my personal kick-off of the Setouchi Triennale 2013. We went to Ogijima (where else?) Details will come soon, but not tonight, I’m exhausted and tomorrow I need to get up early for our next destination: Inujima (and believe it or not, it will be my

  After two pretty tiring weeks at work (and the upcoming one may also be along those lines), the best thing to do this past Sunday was to go spend the day to Ogijima. So we hoped on Meon at the first occasion and there we were. I have seen

  Yesterday, despite the rain, I got together with my friend Cathy Hirano and her friend Ando-san, to start our tour of some of the islands to see the preparations for the Setouchi Triennale which starts in almost a month.   Takamatsu Station plaza, on Monday morning, under the rain. Must

  The Setouchi Triennale 2013 is less than three months away. Winter has arrived and most Art Setouchi installations are closed. Now is a good time for a little retrospective about the Setouchi International Art Festival 2010, especially a few artworks that I hadn’t talked about yet. For example, Akinori

  Today, just a few random pictures I took a little while ago, as I was spending the day on Ogijima:   A fisherman “stranded” on the southern tip of the island. I mean, he was literally stranded there. From where he was, there is no way to walk back

    Ogichō seen from a fast boat bringing me back from Teshima (or Naoshima ?) to Takamatsu. Those boats are great indeed, as not only they’ll bring you to destination in half the time that a ferry will need, but their route also allow you to see Ogichō from

    This picture of Ogichō dates from the very first time I went to Ogijima, almost three years ago. If you’re good at noticing details (and are a regular reader) and/or if you’ve been to the island, you’ll notice a major difference with what Ogijima looks like now. Yep,

  One thing that perplexed me the first time I went to Ogijima was the fact that the main if not only thing that was promoted in the area as an incentive to visit the island was its daffodil fields that bloom around this time of the year (that was

Today, for this last day of 2010 and to “Show you Japan“ I’m offering you Ogijima from above:     This is one of the advantages to directly fly to and from Takamatsu instead of making a detour to Kansai or elsewhere; one gets to fly over the islands of

  This is with A Town Between the Sky and the Sea (海と空と石垣の街) that I’m starting a long series of posts detailing the artworks from the Setouchi International Art Festival. Ok, it’s not exactly the truth as I have already talked about two pieces in details: Project for Sea-Light and
