There are places that beckon to you, not with maps or guidebooks, but with an enigmatic allure that resonates deep within your soul. Kasaneiwa, the “piled rocks” of Shodoshima, is one such place. On a warm late morning, I arrived at the trailhead, where the air was filled with the intoxicating scent of salt and cedar. Before me lay a daunting 253 stone steps, leading to an impossible sight: a colossal pile of boulders stacked like a child’s forgotten game of stones, defying gravity, time, and logic itself. The origins of Kasaneiwa remain an enigma. Was it the result of nature’s gradual sculpting, or the deliberate creation of ancient hands with a specific purpose? The islanders, however, are aware of its existence—a precarious, miraculous presence—and that reaching it has a profound impact on them. I started climbing. The steps gave way to an 80-meter stretch of steep, exposed rock. A chain hung there like an enticing invitation. Step by step, I pulled myself upward, my breath synchronising with the rhythm of the climb. My legs began to tremble, but something held me moving—a pull, a promise, the quiet hum of the island urging me onward. Twenty minutes later, I stood at the summit, breathless in every sense. Below me, the Seto Inland Sea unfurled like a shimmering liquid silver, its horizon dotted with islands that seemed like stepping stones to an ancient realm. The balanced rocks loomed above, their proximity almost palpable, yet they held steadfast, defying the forces of nature. Legend speaks of Kasaneiwa, a deity believed to bestow good fortune, particularly upon those who harbour hopes within their hearts. Students flock to the shrine, seeking prayers for exam success, while travellers come seeking a captivating tale to carry back home. I arrived for neither purpose, yet perhaps for both. If you go: 🥾 253 steps + an 80-meter chain-assisted climb 🌅 Sunset is pure magic 🚗 The access road is narrow—go slow, breathe deep

The Rock That Refuses to Fall: Kasaneiwa on Shōdoshima.

Ship Vanishing into a Golden Sea by Ryo Toyofuku (Setouchi Triennale 2025) "Ship Vanishing into a Golden Sea," by Ryo Toyofuku, may not be for everyone, and definitely was one of the most "obscure" artworks of the Setouchi Triennale 2025. I found it captivating.

Today's Setouchi Triennale 2025 artwork may not be for everyone, but personally, I enjoyed it greatly.
Tell me what you think:
