As we set out to enjoy the Setouchi International Art Festival at its halfway point, the perfect weather on this day was both a blessing and a curse: it brought a nice comfortable day of exploration around Teshima, but it also brought a slew of other people to the island with us. However, the waiting in line for boats, busses, food, etc. was all well worth it. The art and the surrounding nature on Teshima were gorgeous!

Our group of 13 foreign and local residents hopped the boat from Takamatsu to Teshima and arrived at the teeming port of Ieura. We enjoyed the art at the port and then managed to get our whole group on the bus and to the Kou Area on the island's south side. Over the course of the day, we made our way around the whole island, and conquered a majority of Teshima's artwork..
Among the highlights of the day were:
Cameron Robbins's "Sea-Songs of the Subconscious" in which the sea's waves were mysteriously transmitted through an overturned boat to become a sadly beautiful F-minor chord wafting through the air.
