We were on May 12th, the Spring session of the Setouchi Triennale 2019 had just started its second half, and the end was in the distance already. Time to finally go to Megijima. It’s no secret that Megijima is far from being my favorite island of the area for a […]
Megijima

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 […]
I guess it’s all in the title. Enjoy the last days of the year, and stay tuned for lots of new posts in the next year (Can we even hope for one or two more this year? Maybe)
Oh no, I got attacked by a white rabbit again! OK, so, about 10 days ago was the last leg of my series of tours with the people from Koebi and the Setouchi Triennale’s Organizing Committee for you-know-what. 😉 This time we went to both Megijima and Ogijima, and […]
Fun fact: I don’t think I had been to Megijima in the past two years (wow, really? I guess I’m too busy going to Ogijima all the time 😉 ), when suddenly… I went last week, I went yesterday and I’m returning there on Saturday…. What’s happening? <suspenseful music…> Don’t […]

Above the Oni cave on Megijima, there’s a small “park” with a great view of the Seto Inland Sea and the neighboring islands, including this very interesting view of Ogijima from an unusual angle.
Fun fact: did you know that there is a tree-house on Megijima? And a rather nice looking one. I don’t know anything about it except that it dates from at least 2013 if not earlier. Actually if you’re reading this and now more than me about it, I’d be […]
Just two almost random pictures today. First, some rather rare Setouchi Triennale 2016 memorabilia: Yes, some slippers from Ogi School PSS40. They were kindly given by Shiraishi-san (shortly after the picture I took in the previous post). Not sure if I’m gonna wear them much; they’re too […]
I already mentioned Feel Feel Bonsai on this blog. As a reminder, it’s a project and installation located on Megijima and – as you have figured – it’s about bonsai. It’s interesting in many ways, including the fact that it gives a contemporary twist to a very old art, that it associate bonsai […]
