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 […]
When I read various posts and articles on the web, or when I reply to e-mails from readers, I sometimes realize that a lot of people are confused as to what each term from the title really means, and how they’re different or similar. So, today, I’m making this glossary […]

Lin Shuen Long‘s Beyond the Border – the Ocean is still standing in Takamatsu Sunport. You can’t enter it at the moment (only during the Setouchi Triennale) but you can walk around it and admire it as much as you want. It should still be around next year, but […]
