This Straw Dragon is the main attraction of a summer matsuri in Higashikagawa. I have yet to go, and I promise I’ll tell you more about it when I finally make it there. Meanwhile, you can admire this one in Kagawa Plaza, a very interesting small permanent exhibit about […]

I made a grave mistake. Please, if you’re in Takamatsu, don’t make it too. When I introduced Thai Factory Market and the Setouchi Asia Village a few days ago, I didn’t look at the dates. I just assumed that it was going to be all along the Summer session of […]
The summer session of the Setouchi Triennale 2016 is underway. And just like three years ago, there is a major event all summer long at the Takamatsu Sunport.

Today, just a few pictures (and a video) of a Sunday spent in Takamatsu (it was Sunday, October 17th if you wonder). During the three months that the Setouchi International Art Festival lasted there were a bunch of cultural events here and there associated to it, especially […]
There are many things in the Takamatsu Symbol Tower: offices, conference rooms, a tourist office and many other things. However, in the third (or fourth, I forgot) floor, there’s a place for kids and teenagers. A place for them to study, read (there’s small library), get together, […]
