Art triennale brings life back to dying islands

'The climate is mild, and the scenery is relaxing. Why don't you come?"

Faded posters with these lines enticing people to move to Kagawa prefecture are visible at many bus stops on its second largest island of Shodoshima.

Like the rest of Japan, Kagawa is faced with a shrinking, aging population and economic decline. The smallest prefecture in Japan sits on Shikoku Island facing the SetoInland Sea, known as the Japanese version of the Mediterranean Sea.
