When you can’t go to Ogijima, sometimes, Ogijima can come to you, or at least parts of it. On Tuesday, I received not one but two packages from Ogijima! They came from the two online shops based on the island. In the morning, came the herbal teas (and a few […]

When you can’t go to Ogijima…

Yadon manhole cover in Takamatsu

In my previous post, I told you about the Slowpoke manhole cover on Naoshima and the reason for it. If you’ve missed it, it’s near the end of the post, but really you should read all of it. Today, I’m showing you the Slowpoke manhole cover in Takamatsu.   This […]

Slowpoke Manhole Cover in Takamatsu

So, things are kinda sorta getting better in Japan. A second wave of the pandemic could be coming, it may even have started in Tokyo where the number of new cases has been rising again. And a few days ago I was being asked and I wondered whether it was […]

Naoshima in the Age of the Pandemic

I don’t know if many foreign residents of Japan read my blog, but this post is mostly for you. And I wrote it especially with residents of Kagawa Prefecture in mind. It’s an update of the situation of the Setouchi Islands regarding the Covid-19 pandemic. In short, since the pandemic became […]

Setouchi Islands and Covid-19 – an Update

It was last summer, on July 21st, 2019 to be precise. The location was Megijima, on the grounds behind the old school, in front of the small shrine, near the campground, right next to the beach. It was my eleventh day at the Setouchi Triennale 2019, and the Seppuku Pistols […]

Seppuku Pistols vs Bonsai Master Masashi Hirao, Round Two (Setouchi …

    Not today, but about a year ago. If you don’t know it, Honen-ji is a pretty amazing temple in Takamatsu. It’s not very known and gets close to zero tourists, and it’s a good thing. Oh and, I don’t know if that’s still the case, but at least […]

Honen-ji Pagoda on a rainy day

No, this is not how old is the picture below. This has nothing to do with me (I had never heard of the island 20 years ago, my first time hearing about it was 11 years ago, and my first time going, 10 years ago). Today is the anniversary of […]

20 years ago today, on Teshima

A few days ago, tired of staying inside, but still needing to distance ourselves socially from other people, we thought od the perfect place for that. That is Nagasaki no Hana, in other terms, the northern tip of Yashima:   Fun fact: this video was shot from the spot in […]

Social Distancing in Setouchi

I took this picture yesterday, late in the afternoon. I thought you might like it.     Apart from that, we’re now officially in lockdown for two weeks, but it’s not the kind of lockdown you may be experiencing in some countries at the moment. A lot of places are […]

Early Evening Stroll by the Seto Inland Sea

Well, well, well… Those are crazy times, aren’t they? This Coronavirus pandemic puts me in a strange position with this blog (hence the lack of new posts recently). One of its goals is to make you want to come to Kagawa prefecture and visit the Setouchi islands. However, right now, […]
