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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Last weekend was a pretty busy one. Four islands were visited in two days. Oshima, Megijima, and Ogijima on Saturday, Shodoshima on Sunday. The reason was a preview of a certain number of the Setouchi Triennale 2019 new artworks’ sites. Why? With whom? How did I manage three islands in […]
This week, one of the most moving artworks of the Setouchi Triennale 2016 was dismantled, and it made me really sad. Sure, it never was meant to be permanent, it’s somewhat short lifespan was actually part of the whole point, but I don’t know, I wish it would have […]
Today, We’re starting our series of interviews for the Setouchi Triennale 2016… At last…. (yes, I know I’m a bit late, I was hoping to have some ready for the Spring session, but I’ve been busier than expected with too many things). We’re starting with Pors & Rao, two artists whose […]
