Last week, I bid farewell to the old Meon, as you probably already know. I did it last week-end, because I knew I couldn’t be at Sunport today at noon when it actually left Takamatsu for the last time. My son had a year-end school event this morning, I obviously […]

Yesterday at noon, the old Meon came to Takamatsu for its farewell ceremony! It is being retired at the end of the week after almost 34 years of connecting Megijima and Ogijima to the rest of the world! Unfortunately, I missed the ceremony, but as I happened to be in […]
I don’t know if many foreign residents of Japan read my blog, but this post is mostly for you. And I wrote it especially with residents of Kagawa Prefecture in mind. It’s an update of the situation of the Setouchi Islands regarding the Covid-19 pandemic. In short, since the pandemic became […]
It was last summer, on July 21st, 2019 to be precise. The location was Megijima, on the grounds behind the old school, in front of the small shrine, near the campground, right next to the beach. It was my eleventh day at the Setouchi Triennale 2019, and the Seppuku Pistols […]

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 […]
