There is a Star Wars Day. There is a Bloomsday. Why exactly isn’t there a Battle Royale Day? So, as we’re May 22nd, I hereby officially declare this day (and the next one, the story taking place over two days), the Official Battle Royale Day! And as I was […]

This post will mostly talk about Battle Royale. You may find it interesting, or completely boring. I hope it will be the former. If you don’t know it yet – which would be a shame – Battle Royale is a “multi media” story that takes place in an alternate world where […]
Ogijima’s Lighthouse at dusk, over the Seto Inland Sea. You can also spot the Great Bridge of Seto in the background. In case you’re wondering the picture was taken while returning from Shodoshima.
I don’t know how many times I tried to take pictures of Takamatsu’s Red Lighthouse at night, and I never really was satisfied. There, I think I finally got it right. Sure, it wasn’t at night but as dusk, and as I was on a ferry, the angle […]

At the end of winter, like everywhere else, the island’s daffodils are in bloom, and they do attract a lot of visitors from Takamatsu. Nowadays, as the island is really re-awaking, […]

The summer session of the Setouchi Triennale 2013 is almost upon us, so it’s time to put this blog back into almost full “Triennale mode”, starting to finally writing those micro-guides for each island that I meant to write last Spring. Today, let’s talk about Ogijima, an island dear […]
I don’t know about you, but I really like this view of Ogijima’s Lighthouse. On a side note, there are some little changes to the blog. First a slight change to the header. The title is now included in the header picture and not above it anymore. […]
