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 […]

The day was May 7th. It was the first day post Golden Week, my sixth day spent on an island for the Setouchi Triennale 2019, including my third on Ogijima (yes, this Spring session, was Ogijima-heavy indeed, but my life is Ogijima-heavy, so it makes sense…). Finally, the crowds were […]
On our fifth day visiting an island for the Setouchi Triennale 2019, we returned to Ogijima for a very special occasion. See, the Setouchi Triennale is not just art exhibits, museums, and installations. It’s also about events, big and small. Sometimes it’s a concert, sometimes it’s a unique performance that’s […]
During the Spring session of the Setouchi Triennale 2019 that just ended, many people asked me details on how the Three-Day Ferry Pass worked. While I always try to answer personal e-mails in a timely manner, having the information here on the blog, is always a better option for both […]
For this third part of my adventures in the Setouchi Triennale 2019, we’re heading to my favorite place in the area if not in Japan: Ogijima. Before we go any further, if you haven’t done so, please read the previous episodes: Part One: Shodoshima Part Two: Shamijima (and Seijima) The […]

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 […]
As I mentioned in my previous post, things are starting to move as far as the Setouchi Triennale 2019 is concerned, and today I was with some people from Koebi Network and the Triennale’s organizing committee for a Tour de Shodoshima. And I mean a literal one; we went […]
So, typhoon number 20 is upon us – literally, the eye of the storm should reach Takamatsu in less than an hour now. The winds are strong, but it’s not raining that much strangely (it may all be falling on Kansai?) Here is a small video I shot returning from […]
Something quite unique happened on Sunday. The very first Wordcamp Ogijima! In case you don’t know, Wordcamp is a series of conferences around and about WordPress. It’s the event where WordPress users, developers, coders and more gather, meet, network, etc. What is WordPress some of you may be asking? […]
