I don’t know if many foreign residents of Japan read my blog, but this post is mostly for you. And I wrote it especially with residents of Kagawa Prefecture in mind. It’s an update of the situation of the Setouchi Islands regarding the Covid-19 pandemic. In short, since the pandemic became […]
It was last summer, on July 21st, 2019 to be precise. The location was Megijima, on the grounds behind the old school, in front of the small shrine, near the campground, right next to the beach. It was my eleventh day at the Setouchi Triennale 2019, and the Seppuku Pistols […]
Not today, but about a year ago. If you don’t know it, Honen-ji is a pretty amazing temple in Takamatsu. It’s not very known and gets close to zero tourists, and it’s a good thing. Oh and, I don’t know if that’s still the case, but at least […]

Cherry blossom season is underway and the flowers are pretty much at full bloom at the moment. Like every year, I try to take a picture of the first ones I get to see up close. Here it is: The picture is actually 10 days old, and contrary to […]
