Saimyo-ji is a small relatively unknown temple in Shionoe, in the south of Takamatsu. Its only claim to fame is the fact that most of its grounds are covered with flowers called hagi (Wikipedia tells me that they’re called Japanese clovers in English). And that’s enough for the temple to […]

Beyond the Border(s) – The Ocean by Lin Shuen-long is a wonderful Art Setouchi artwork that has been sitting in Takamatsu Sunport for four years now, and I realize that I never wrote a proper post about it. So, I’m doing it before it’s too late. And first, why is […]
Trying to escape the heat, we decided to go to Shionoe, in the south of Takamatsu, at the foot of the mountains to see if we could find a few spots where we could cool down a little bit. I brought back three pictures and a video from this escapade. […]

A couple of weeks ago, I went for a walk at Sunport Takamatsu like I sometimes do on weekends, when I found myself twice intrigued when I arrived at the waterfront (more precisely at this part of Sunport called Seto Sea Palette). Check this out: The first thing, you’ve noticed […]
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 […]
