Ogijima is a small island in the Seto Inland Sea area that is about 40mins by ferry from Takamatsu. It is also one of the participating islands in the Setouchi Triennale, an arts festival that takes place every three years. I had just two hours to spend on this island before I had to catch my next ferry - thankfully most of the works are concentrated around the main village area, and while I didn't get to see every single artwork, here is what I checked out in my short time there. The Triennale runs for several consecutive weeks in Spring, Summer and Autumn, with some additional works only ready for show in the later seasons.

Glad you enjoyed Ogijima, even if two hours is definitely not enough to really experience it properly.
it's not at all! I recommend at least spending an entire morning or afternoon there if possible. Based on ferry timings, I think 4 hours would work much better!
