Konzō-ji

Konzō-ji (金倉寺), is a very cute small temple from the Shikoku Pilgrimage’s 88 Temples. It is the 76th one, that is the one following the famous Zentsū-ji. It is also located in the city of Zentsūji, about three kilometers away from its predecessor. At first sight, and especially if you’ve just visited the 75th temple,

Ōzuchishima, seen from Sunport Takamatsu

From the number of pictures I took of this island in recent months, I’m afraid I’m developing a slight obsession with Ōzuchishima. You can expect to see more of it in the near future of the blog.

Kikugetsutei in Ritsurin Garden

With months (years?) of delay, I’ve finally done the research and I now know the name of the main tea house in the Ritsurin Garden. It’s Kikugetsutei! Now you know it too.

Walkway in Takamatsu Sunport

While I rarely “have to” take it, I really like the walkway in Takamatsu Sunport for some reason.

Beautifully Abandoned by Leandro Erlich

For today’s Setouchi Triennale artwork that I want to tell you about, we’re staying in Takamatsu. Although most Triennale works are located on the neighboring Seto islands, let’s not forget that there is also some art on the “continent” that is Takamatsu, as well as Uno Port in Okayama prefecture. However, even if we’re

Kumano-jinja

Kumano-jinja is a very simple and small neighborhood shrine like so many other in Japan. It’s one of those shrines that are not tourist destinations, and as such, I tend to find them more “normal.” I have a soft spot for Kumano-jinja, maybe because it’s one of the shrines in my neighborhood.

Niihama Torii

I can’t really tell you much more about this Torii (and its impressive stairs) except for the fact that it’s located in Niihama in the Ehime Prefecture.

Ogijima Roofs

Just some roofs in Ogichō.

Great Bridge of Seto

No, I didn’t recently flew anywhere, that picture was taken by my parents as they left Japan a couple of weeks ago. I don’t know what you think, but personally I find it to be an amazing view of the Great Bridge of Seto and some of its neighboring islands (Honjima, Ushijima, Hiroshima, Yoshima, Hitsuishijima and I’m

An Ogijima Wedding

David — Mon, 06 May 2013 05:16:38 +0000

Last Friday we went to Ogijima with no other goal than having a chill, relaxing day, nothing else (not even visiting some art, all Setouchi Triennale artworks being closed on week days in between sessions – except for the outdoor ones of course). However, a surprise event awaited when we got on the island:
