The Setouchi Triennale, also known as the Setouchi International Art Festival, is held on several islands dotting the Seto Inland Sea, with the aim of recovering the vitality of local communities through art. Artists from around the world attend the festival, collaborating with volunteers and residents of the islands to create miraculous pieces of art that can only be seen there. From this collaboration, the community's traditional culture and beautiful nature surroundings gradually reclaim their sparkle. Through sharing the Inland Sea's appeal overseas, it is hoped that many people will come and experience the festival, which connects the Inland Sea and nearby Kagawa Prefecture with the rest of the world through art.
