This year I had decided to blog about my Setouchi Triennale 2019 visits in chronological order, and as early as my second post about it, I’m throwing a wrench into it. See, I’ve been quite busy and I also caught a nasty cold (my son has started preschool; random nasty […]

It has started! On Friday, April 26th. I mean the Setouchi Triennale 2019, of course. However, as it was a Friday and I couldn’t escape from work (why didn’t the festival start on a holiday or a weekend as it did the previous years? no idea), I missed that first […]
These are some extremely busy times. At the university, the academic year has just started. At home, my son has just started preschool. On the Setouchi islands, the Setouchi Triennale 2019 preparations have been everywhere. I’ve also been busy writing about the Triennale in other places. Oh, and I’m starting […]

Yesterday, the weather was wonderful. My friend M had to go to Shodoshima for various matters and she invited our common friend W and me to go with her on the island for a fun day. We hadn’t planned anything, and just winged it for the whole day. This is […]
So, I recently got a new camera (just in time for the Setouchi Triennale 2019 🙂 ). For the past 6 years or so, I used a bridge camera, but I feel that I really outgrew it for the past year or so (also image quality doesn’t seem as […]
Today, I’m gonna tell you about the nerdiest thing I have done related to the Setouchi Islands, and probably one of the nerdiest things in my life. See, when I first started visiting the islands 10 years ago, for some reason (I forgot what it was) I started counting how […]
Jaume Plensa’s Ogijima’s Soul is such a wonderful artwork that it looks stunning even under terrible weather conditions. (fun fact: that day had started pretty nicely, when those huge clouds came out of nowhere, fell on us, drenched the island and left as quickly as they arrived […]
