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 […]

For our fourth day attending the Setouchi Triennale 2019 (which was really our third day, remember, I twisted the timeline a little) we returned to Shodoshima. We had to, we had left the car there two days prior. We hopped on the ferry to Ikeda Port on the morning of […]

After two months of absence, I finally returned to Ogijima four days ago. I was starting to think that I was cursed or something. Since my last visit back in February, every single Sunday, something prevented me from going; be it having to work (yes, it was that time of […]
This title is a translation of “le Japon Rive Gauche“, the name of an exhibit that starts in Paris on Saturday. I mentioned it a little while ago on my French blog, but in case anyone here is in Paris and doesn’t read French, a few lines about it […]
Aji used to be a small village near Takamatsu. It is now part of Takamatsu (right east of Yashima). It is (locally only?) famous for its stone, the Aji stone, that is a very high quality stone and that is used for the best sculptures, traditional lamps and more […]
