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 […]

Now that the Setouchi Triennale 2019 is over, I paradoxically have more time to tell you about it and to show you all the things that I simply didn’t have time to show you while they were happening. I guess we can consider these posts as partly retrospective for those […]
For this third part of my adventures in the Setouchi Triennale 2019, we’re heading to my favorite place in the area if not in Japan: Ogijima. Before we go any further, if you haven’t done so, please read the previous episodes: Part One: Shodoshima Part Two: Shamijima (and Seijima) The […]
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 […]
Friday November 3rd, being a holiday, it was the first day of the last week-end of the 2017 season of Art Setouchi. And as it’s now the tradition on Teshima, it also was the harvest festival. This is the day when the rice (as well as other plants, including cotton) […]

Earlier this week, I told you about Team Ogi’s Boat Dance for the last day of the Setouchi Triennale 2016, now let’s get to the very end of the art festival, with the departure of the last ferry from Ogijima and then the official Closing Ceremony itself. I have […]
Do you remember a short while ago, I showed you the arrival of the Seppuku Pistols on Megijima? However, I remained mysterious regarding their intentions on the island. Well, wonder no more. Here is the reason why they went; a challenge! And not any challenge, as they faced Bonsai Master […]
The first time I saw and heard about the Seppuku Pistols was last March, when they performed for the opening ceremony of the Setouchi Triennale 2016 on Ogijima. At the moment, the heat is a bit too intense to go island hopping much. However, a few things made me leave […]
I probably won’t make a day to day report of my visits on the islands for the Setouchi Triennale 2016 (I’d like to, but I simply won’t have the time and/or energy, see, this post about last Sunday is being posted on Tuesday night), but I’ll try to post […]
