Beyond the Border(s) – The Ocean by Lin Shuen-long is a wonderful Art Setouchi artwork that has been sitting in Takamatsu Sunport for four years now, and I realize that I never wrote a proper post about it. So, I’m doing it before it’s too late. And first, why is […]
Yes, I know, I’ve been awfully quiet here lately. You know, it’s the usual excuse: too many things to do, not enough time to do all. Work, family, of course the virus. It’s causing more work which causes more fatigue, which also means less time and energy for blogging, I’m […]

In my previous post, I told you about the Slowpoke manhole cover on Naoshima and the reason for it. If you’ve missed it, it’s near the end of the post, but really you should read all of it. Today, I’m showing you the Slowpoke manhole cover in Takamatsu. This […]
