Fall is coming! And with it, the various Fall matsuri, which are numerous in the Setouchi area, probably because they’re harvest matsuri, and we’re still in a quite rural part of Japan. Among them, one of my favorite matsuri. I try to never miss it although I missed it last […]
It’s often the same problem during the Setouchi Triennale, I’m too busy to blog. Of course, every day that turns out to be a free day is used to visit some art, and then at night, I’m just too tired to write anything. This time, add to that the fact that […]

On October 15 of every year, the Uchinomi Matsuri takes place on Shodoshima. It is one of the eight fall matsuri that take place mid-October on the island over the span of 10 days. All of them are harvest matsuri and are affiliated with various Hachiman shrines on the island. A couple […]
