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 […]
I think it was the first sunny day of 2020 when I also had free time. So I went to Ogijima for a small stroll to the lighthouse and back, among other things. I also took a few pictures. The daffodils are blooming. […]

On the Setouchi islands, the Setouchi Triennale 2019 preparations have been everywhere. I’ve also been busy writing about the Triennale in other places. Oh, and I’m starting […]
