Last Month, I published the schedule for Art Setouchi during April. If you don’t mind, I will try to publish it every month as long as I have them. Of course the obvious goal here is to make you want to go visit the islands if you’re in the […]

Today, I’m going to briefly tell you about Kō, this charming little village located on the south-west coast of Teshima and that is the home of about 85 people. While Teshima‘s two main villages, Karato and Ieura are mostly fishermen villages, most of Kō‘s people used to work […]
I don’t really have much to say about Takashi Imura‘s Karakurin (カラクリン) except that it was interesting. I’m not exactly sure why, but these mechanical statues seemed strangely familiar, even though I’ve tried to find what they reminded me of without any success so far. From the rare information […]

Harmonica (ハーモニカ) is the third artwork made by an Australian artiste –Sue Pedley– in the village of Kō on Teshima. At first, I have to admit that I feared for the worst when I read the description on the goude book. I even thought about skipping the visit to not […]
Rui Sato is this little kid. He’s two years old and he’s one of the many survivors of last month’s disasters. I don’t know why I can’t stop looking at this picture. It’s so sad and so joyful at the same time. And I’m not ashamed to say that every […]
