Trouble on Ogijima.
A small Korean oil tanker ran ashore near the lighthouse two night ago.
Luckily no oil leak (my biggest terror in the Inland Sea).

A street of Ogijima. It's narrow, goes downhill with a stunning view of the Seto Inland Sea in the background.
Ogijima street (it's not the main street, it's the second largest one)

A few of Ogijima port (with a glimpse of the village) seen from the ferry as it's departing the island.
It was a fun day on Ogijima today (the best kind of day)

A detail of "Dreamland" a piece of art by Takeshi Kawashima. It's abstract art, mostly shape in red, blue and yellow on a white background.

I'm not a very good video maker, so it's worth what it's worth, but here is my first video of the Setouchi Triennale 2025. "Our Island" by Émilie Faïf on Ogijima.

A Setouchi Triennale 2025 art passport. It's Ogijima's page. Only five spots are stamped.
One privilege of being a local when attending the #SetouchiTriennale is that you don't need to try to see as much as possible in as little time as possible. On the islands where I regularly go to (like #Ogijima) I just go see a handful of artworks at a time. For example, today:
Meon, the ferry linking Takamatsu, Megijima and Ogijima. It's rather small and is covered with horizontal red and white stripes.
The best ride in town.

An art installation. An island made of strips of blue fabric in the middle of a traditional Japanese living room.
A drawing on a wall depicting a bunch of Kappa (the Japanese mythical creature) hanging out around a well.
Setouchi Triennale 2025 "secret" preview. Probably the first time that these works of art are posted online.
You're among the first ones in the world to see them.

I have no idea how to even start describing this. Okay, in the background there is a traditional Japanese village on a hill. On the foreground, it's a white structure that vaguely resembles a seashell. It's made of metal but it's actually "lace" made of various scripts from various languages. oh and it's actually the roof of a building made of glass, that happens to be the welcome center of the island. Does it made any sense?

Now that I think about it, I think it's the first time I post it on the Fediverse.
It's called "Ogijima's Soul" and it's a work of art by Jaume Plensa

A "decomposing" boat on a small strip of sand in a small fishing port.
A couple of years ago, I thought that boat had been left there to rot and it turns out I was right.

A small fishing boat moored at its pier. Its side is painted with big red circles and more.
Unfortunately there aren't many boats left from the "OGI Project" by Team Ogi, but here is one.

An old stonewall in the middle of a forest.
Today's quiz.
On Ogijima, you can find such walls in the middle of the forest, pretty much all over the island. Why is that?
