This was my favorite art installation on Ogijima, an island in the Seto Inland Sea. It was part of the art festival held every three years, Setouchi Triennale in 2013.

The gallery Memory Bottle was installed by Mayumi Kuri. Almost 1,000 bottles are on display, all with pictures or small trinkets inside. In her interview she says that she wanted to gather memories of the local people in Ogijima so she set up a collection box, asking people to put their memories in it. The bottles were lit up with lights and had everything from pictures to train tickets.

The gallery is still open even though the next Setouchi Triennale is not until 2016. If you want to see the art during the islands off season, now is the time to go :)

* 40min ferry ride from Takamatsu Port. It is about a 1.5hr flight from Tokyo to Takamatsu.

"毎年友人6〜7人で宿泊させていただいています。今回4回目。すぐ裏はビーチ。今年からはSUPなんかのアクティビティもできるようになってました。キッチンもBBQ機材もありとても便利です。 (網と炭と着火剤はホームセンターでいつも買ってから行きます) 室内もきちんと清掃されていて清潔。広い和室に布団を敷けば8人充分寝られます。さらにお部屋2つあるので室内で宴会も。いちばんのポイントはお風呂、洗面、トイレといった水回りが綺麗でストレスがないこと。毎年最高の夏休みを過ごさせていただきありがとうございます。また来年もよろしくお願いします。"

"Do not stay here. More like a 1970s dormitory, the photos shown on the website are utterly misleading. I don’t even know where to start.

"釣りに良い立地です。すぐ近くの海岸で、カサゴやキスが釣れました。最新の電化製品が備え付けてあり、便利でした。中庭や縁側もいい感じです。プロジェクターもあり、映画も見られました。今回は大人数での利用だったので椅子の数が足り苦しく、もう数脚あるとありがたかったです。あとは、人数が多いとコンセントが少々足りなかったので、たくさんソケットのあるタコ足があると嬉しいです。今回はありがとうございました。"
