So, this morning started almost like a normal Tuesday, and then suddenly: I found myself in the very middle of the Seto Inland Sea, with Ogijima in the distance. (OK, it wasn’t a total surprise, I knew that was going to happen, I’m just trying to sound […]

Something quite unique happened on Sunday. The very first Wordcamp Ogijima! In case you don’t know, Wordcamp is a series of conferences around and about WordPress. It’s the event where WordPress users, developers, coders and more gather, meet, network, etc. What is WordPress some of you may be asking? […]
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 […]

This post will mostly talk about Battle Royale. You may find it interesting, or completely boring. I hope it will be the former. If you don’t know it yet – which would be a shame – Battle Royale is a “multi media” story that takes place in an alternate world where […]
This is what my first day on Ogiima of 2018 looked like: Toyotamahime Shrine. Whoops, I arrived to late for Hatsumode celebrations… Believe it or not, I had never been into that street before. Now, I think I’ve been into all the streets of the village… […]
If you’ve wondered how to catch octopus, it’s pretty simple actually. See, they love to hide in narrow holes in the rocks underwater. So fishermen, lay those traps on the sea floor, they wait for a little while, and then after you pull the ropes and the pots […]
