The voyage through Setouchi’s colors is an apt journey for this time of year, when hints of color begin to spread across the landscape. We will welcome Yasuto Ide, once a disciple of the well-known Setouchi master of Japanese painting Ikuo Hirayama to paint designs on shells, enjoy a stunning view of the seascape of the Inland Sea from amid the cherry blossoms atop Shikoku’s Mt. Shiude and visit the workshop of a Sanuki nori dyer. This peaceful voyage is an opportunity to enjoy enduring traditions of vivid artistry and the soft colors of nature in Setouchi.
