This is what my first day on Ogiima of 2018 looked like: Toyotamahime Shrine. Whoops, I arrived to late for Hatsumode celebrations… Believe it or not, I had never been into that street before. Now, I think I’ve been into all the streets of the village… […]

If you’ve wondered how to catch octopus, it’s pretty simple actually. See, they love to hide in narrow holes in the rocks underwater. So fishermen, lay those traps on the sea floor, they wait for a little while, and then after you pull the ropes and the pots […]
The other day (OK, it really was one and half years ago, when I just started working there, though the pictures are a bit more recent) I found something interesting on Kagawa University’s main campus. Check it out: Those long (5 story-high) tubes are full of rocks […]
You may have already seen this picture if you follow my Instagram account (and if you don’t may I advise that you do đ ), but I’m posting it again here, because it’s worth it. You may know that it’s currently phosphorescent plancton season. So, the other day I […]
Last week-end I moved, and left Matsunawa, the neighborhood that I called home for the past five and a half years. Worry not, I didn’t leave Takamatsu and I don’t see that happening in the foreseeable future. I just changed neighborhoods and left my apartment that had become way […]

Cherry Blossom season ended a while ago. However, that’s not a reason not to share some pictures of that brief moment when all the petals are on the ground. A moment that can sometimes be as beautiful as when the flowers are blooming. At Dream CafĂ©, on Ogijima […]
Hanami (flower watching) almost didn’t happen this year. The timing got all messed up (the flowers were in bloom one week late because it remained cold until the end of March). Then, the rain didn’t help. It’s been two years now that late March, early April is much rainier than it […]
Sometimes, while waiting for the ferry in Miyanoura Port, I think that the people on Naoshima make interesting photography subjects, don’t you? I never fully understood the act of taking a picture in front of something else. At least, she’s not just standing there idiotically. The […]
