After visiting Shodoshima, today, let’s head to Teshima with a quick visit of various spots on the island. Just like the previous visit, it was made with some people from Koebi and the Setouchi Triennale‘s Organizing Committee. I’ll probably disclose the reason later, when it’s all said and done. 😉 […]

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 […]
Just a quick note if you’re currently visiting the Setouchi Triennale 2016 and are planning on going to Teshima tomorrow (or don’t know where you’ll be going yet), or simply if you live in Kagawa and have no plans for tomorrow. Know that the Karato Matsuri will take place […]

A couple of weeks ago, I committed quite a big blunder, the kind I’ll make only every few years, possibly even no more than once a decade or so. A couple of weeks ago, I finally met Ryo Abe, and… Well, let me give you some context first… Two […]
In some parts of Japan, I have the feeling that summer is the time of the year when one can find plenty of matsuri. But on Shikoku, Fall definitely is Matsuri season. Especially mid-october, a time that is also rice harvest time and this is of course not a coincidence, […]
Noe Aoki‘s Particles in the Air is one of the works of art that have been in the area, namely Teshima, since the very first Setouchi Triennale back in 2010. While it’s not the most amazing Art Setouchi piece, and the concept is a bit questionable (it’s about making […]
