Walking in Circles: Finding Happiness in Lost Japan is a book about the Shikoku Pilgrimage. Or rather, it’s a book about a young man in his late twenties walking the pilgrimage for the second time in his life. It was published last year and was written by Todd Wassel. This […]
You may have heard that I started a YouTube channel. I still have a long way to get before being able to make good videos, but I’m learning. As I can’t go to the islands these days (and it’s also a friendly reminder if you live in Japan, please, don’t […]
The Setouchi Triennale 2022 is scheduled to start in pretty much a year. So far information is really scarce about it, but the first official pieces were made available a few days ago! And yes, it’s about its schedule. It should be taking place on the following dates: Spring: April […]
