Scenes from Hon-jima, one of the venues for the Setouchi Triennale 2013

A photo taken from a small passenger boat connecting Kojima in Okayama, Honshu and Hon-jima island.

Thirty-minute ride on the boat to the island and Sacchi and I did a little walking around the port looking at artworks.

 Like this one, a clay house made by those from India.

They were from inland India and had never seen the ocean. The octopus relief on the wall, not seen in this photo, has more legs than they really are but looks very vivid and alive. 

 

This one was peaceful, in the middle of a little orchard of oranges. 

 Colorful and pretty but profound message.

Wooden pieces and sticks from Rikuzen-takata, one of the most devastated areas by the earthquake and tsunami in 2011, were colored and used as the material of this artwork, comprehensively entitled Disintegration and Regeneration. Yoko joined from here.

 Another scene from the same site.

 Tinnitus 

 Bridge

What does the bride connect? An artwork at an old abandoned temple.

 To be here

The artist talked to us, which made a difference. We managed to come here by bike thanks to our lucky mistake. After Yoko joined, we walked around the vicinity and came back to the port accidentally but some of the rental bikes were back and we rented them for our continued tour by bike. 

 Departure

And our tour is over.
