The retirement of the old Meon and the arrival of its replacement are not the only things that are happening at Takamatsu Sunport at the moment. I knew it was coming, I was secretly hoping it wouldn’t (knowing it was totally unrealistic, but… you know… a man can hope…), but […]

Beyond the Border(s) – The Ocean by Lin Shuen-long is a wonderful Art Setouchi artwork that has been sitting in Takamatsu Sunport for four years now, and I realize that I never wrote a proper post about it. So, I’m doing it before it’s too late. And first, why is […]
Well, well, well… Those are crazy times, aren’t they? This Coronavirus pandemic puts me in a strange position with this blog (hence the lack of new posts recently). One of its goals is to make you want to come to Kagawa prefecture and visit the Setouchi islands. However, right now, […]
Today, we’re staying in Takamatsu (again, yes, I know that’s three posts in a row!) as I will show you some of the artworks that were available in town during the Setouchi Triennale 2019. Unfortunately, they were all temporary installations and are all gone now. Still, I thought that you […]

It has started! On Friday, April 26th. I mean the Setouchi Triennale 2019, of course. However, as it was a Friday and I couldn’t escape from work (why didn’t the festival start on a holiday or a weekend as it did the previous years? no idea), I missed that first […]
Last weekend was a pretty busy one. Four islands were visited in two days. Oshima, Megijima, and Ogijima on Saturday, Shodoshima on Sunday. The reason was a preview of a certain number of the Setouchi Triennale 2019 new artworks’ sites. Why? With whom? How did I manage three islands in […]
Lin Shuen Long‘s Beyond the Border – the Ocean is still standing in Takamatsu Sunport. You can’t enter it at the moment (only during the Setouchi Triennale) but you can walk around it and admire it as much as you want. It should still be around next year, but […]
