Jaume Plensa’s Ogijima’s Soul is such a wonderful artwork that it looks stunning even under terrible weather conditions. (fun fact: that day had started pretty nicely, when those huge clouds came out of nowhere, fell on us, drenched the island and left as quickly as they arrived […]

As the title says, I wish you all a very happy new year 2019. Yesterday, on the actual New Year’s Day, I did my favorite activity on that day, that is I stayed at home. Meanwhile, most Japanese people tend to go to the shrine for Hatsumode (literally “the first […]
Ogijima is without a doubt my favorite island in the Setouchi area. While I was already enamored with the island before the Setouchi Triennale started, the artworks that can be found there made me love the island even more. Add to that some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet […]
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 […]

Almost a month ago, I got some very good news when I learned that as a “preview” of the Setouchi Triennale 2019 (a very early preview), the Seppuku Pistols were back in the area, especially on Ogijima and in Takamatsu (they also went to the islands under the Great […]
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 […]
I was on Ogijima today, but the weather was pretty bad, so no pictures were taken (I still had a great time catching up with friends). So instead here is a few pictures I took last month. It’s going to be one more occasion to enjoy the cherry blossoms. […]
