The day was May 7th. It was the first day post Golden Week, my sixth day spent on an island for the Setouchi Triennale 2019, including my third on Ogijima (yes, this Spring session, was Ogijima-heavy indeed, but my life is Ogijima-heavy, so it makes sense…). Finally, the crowds were […]

These are some extremely busy times. At the university, the academic year has just started. At home, my son has just started preschool. On the Setouchi islands, the Setouchi Triennale 2019 preparations have been everywhere. I’ve also been busy writing about the Triennale in other places. Oh, and I’m starting […]
Another day on Ogijima? Sure, why not? Last Saturday, Team Ogi was supposed to bring its new artwork for the Setouchi Triennale 2019 to Ogijima. However, they were behind schedule, and we ended up being 24 hours early. Rest assured, Team Ogi did bring its art on the following day. […]
Those two pictures of one of the sections of Rikuji Makabe‘s Wallalley on Ogijima were taken a couple of weeks ago. Originally, I didn’t mean to publish them here. I just took them to make sure of something and confirm my memory wasn’t playing tricks to me. […]
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. […]

It’s often the same problem during the Setouchi Triennale, I’m too busy to blog. Of course, every day that turns out to be a free day is used to visit some art, and then at night, I’m just too tired to write anything. This time, add to that the fact that […]
Yesterday, the weather was pretty much perfect, so we decided for an impromptu and long overdue visit to Ogijima: Ogicho’s port As the title of the post hints, I was surprised by the number of construction sites on the island. It may just be a coincidence, it […]
The summer session of the Setouchi Triennale 2013 is almost upon us, so it’s time to put this blog back into almost full “Triennale mode”, starting to finally writing those micro-guides for each island that I meant to write last Spring. Today, let’s talk about Ogijima, an island dear […]
Today, just a few random pictures I took a little while ago, as I was spending the day on Ogijima: A fisherman “stranded” on the southern tip of the island. I mean, he was literally stranded there. From where he was, there is no way to walk back […]
