The Setouchi Triennale is a contemporary art festival held every three years on the islands of the Seto Inland Sea. The first art festival was held in 2010 and lasted for about 100 days, divided into three phases: spring, summer and autumn. Visitors can experience the unique charm of Setouchi in different seasons. During the art festival, it attracted about 1 million domestic and foreign tourists, making it Japan's most representative international art festival. With the theme of "Ocean Renaissance", the art festival encourages tourists to use art as a guide to travel between islands, interact with artists, local residents and volunteers, and experience the natural scenery, island culture and human life of Setouchi. This unique form of combining art with regional characteristics has resonated with many people at home and abroad. The Seto Inland Sea has been an important transportation route since ancient times. Ships traveling between the islands not only brought new culture and style, but also merged with the inherent culture of each island, forming unique landscapes and traditional customs that have been passed down to this day. However, with the tide of globalization, efficiency and homogenization, the island population is gradually decreasing, the aging problem is intensifying, the regional vitality is weakening, and the uniqueness of the island is gradually disappearing. Therefore, the Setouchi Triennale aims to restore the vitality of the harmonious coexistence of beautiful nature and humans in the Setouchi Islands and to make the Setouchi Inland Sea a "Sea of Hope" for all regions on Earth.
