Post-Art Setouchi Schedules
Some great news for any of you interested in visiting the Art Setouchi island sites that are still open. David and his wife have kindly translated the schedules for the different sites into English. You can find them at the bottom of this article at David’s blog.

As David mentions, there are still some Sealight sculptures around town. I’ve seen a couple hanging in the shopping arcade for example. See if you can find the giant glowing squid hanging from the arcade roof in the photo below. It’s between the 2nd and 3rd yellow arch in the roof.
In addition, the Gentle Art Project on Oshima finally posted its schedule for the next 4 months. It will be open Dec. 17-19, Jan. 15-16, Feb. 11-13, Mar. 12-13. Boats leave Takamatsu port at 9:10, 11:00 and 13:55. You do not need a ticket but you need to identify yourself to the Koyubikai staff when you reach Oshima. Boats returning to Takamatsu leave at 10:30, 13:25 and 16:15. The café, which serves light meals, sweets and drinks, and Gallery 15 will be open. If you go on a later boat, however, the café will probably be out of food.
Finally, Onba Factory and Kawashima and Dream Friends got together and put up Christmas light displays on Ogijima to bring some cheer to the islanders. There’s even an illuminated wreath on the Meon ferry. The displays will be lit up until the end of Dec. 25. Lights go on at 17:00 and they’ve put on an evening ferry to bring viewers back, leaving Ogijima at 19:00 PM every day until Dec. 26.
