This Straw Dragon is the main attraction of a summer matsuri in Higashikagawa. I have yet to go, and I promise I’ll tell you more about it when I finally make it there. Meanwhile, you can admire this one in Kagawa Plaza, a very interesting small permanent exhibit about […]

Just a quick post to wish you all a Merry Christmas (or whatever it is you’re celebrating this time of the year) from Kagawa Prefecture! In case you’re wondering, this is a picture taken last Fall at Chichibugahama (some people add “Beach” to the name but hama already means […]
Today, we’re staying in Takamatsu (again, yes, I know that’s three posts in a row!) as I will show you some of the artworks that were available in town during the Setouchi Triennale 2019. Unfortunately, they were all temporary installations and are all gone now. Still, I thought that you […]
A couple of weeks ago, I went for a walk at Sunport Takamatsu like I sometimes do on weekends, when I found myself twice intrigued when I arrived at the waterfront (more precisely at this part of Sunport called Seto Sea Palette). Check this out: The first thing, you’ve noticed […]
Now that the Setouchi Triennale 2019 is over, I paradoxically have more time to tell you about it and to show you all the things that I simply didn’t have time to show you while they were happening. I guess we can consider these posts as partly retrospective for those […]
Believe it or not, I hadn’t been to Oshima in six years! I mean, during the Setouchi Triennale, I actually went last winter. The problem with this island is that due to its very unique status, you don’t really go there to just hang out and have fun as you […]
Seeing how often I manage to update this blog at the moment, I came to the realization that if I want to cover as much ground as possible telling you about the Setouchi Triennale 2019, I’ll have to break away from chronological order, otherwise, I’ll only reach some destinations after […]
This post is a little different from the other Setouchi Triennale 2019 posts so far, as it doesn’t focus on one single day, but rather on one artist and his art. Namely, Xiang Yang and his amazing project on Shodoshima called: The Shore Where We Can Reach Xiang Yang’s […]
This small trip didn’t actually happen during the Setouchi Triennale 2019, but a few days before the opening of the summer session. On that day, I went to Shodoshima for a very specific reason in the morning (but that will be detailed most likely next post), and in the afternoon, […]
So typhoon number 10 has come and gone. It was a pretty weird one, quite big, quite slow, but quite uneventful here in Takamatsu (and I underline here in Takamatsu, it may have caused damage elsewhere that I’m not aware of yet). I’m just returning from the coast where I […]
