On a headland with galleries cantilevered over the Pacific, holding letters whose handwriting breaks into something like drawing.

For two nights a year the screens are set out along the shopfronts and lit only by candles - as they were meant to be seen.

Ino Paper Museum
On the river that made the paper, following the process from bark to the thinnest sheet in the world.

Tosa Blades
Forged without templates, each blade shaped to its order - a trade built on hatchets and sickles for mountain work.

Yanase Takashi Memorial Museum
For the creator of Anpanman, who found his great subject in his mid-fifties, and who was also a poet.
KochiContemporary ArtShimanto
The Shimanto River
No dam on the main course, so the meanders remain; bridges and villages are all placed on the assumption of flood.
Yusuhara
Kengo Kuma Buildings in Yusuhara
Six Kuma buildings in a mountain village of three thousand, each designed outward from locally sourced cedar and thatch.

Nora Dokei
A landowner taught himself clockmaking by taking one apart, then built this tower - gears and all - by hand.

Tosa Plaster and Drip Tiles
Rows of little tile eaves are set partway up the walls to shed typhoon rain - a climate detail that became the elevation.
Aki
Uchiharano Ware
Begun as a domain industry, and still turning out the same everyday jars and bowls.
KochiContemporary ArtMuroto
Cape Muroto
Each earthquake lifts the coast a little more, leaving terraces - a global geopark where the ground's movement is legible.

Hotsumisakiji
Where Kukai trained in a cave, and from whose opening - sky and sea only - he is said to have taken his name.
KochiContemporary ArtTosashimizu
Tatsukushi Coast
Sandstone eaten by wind and wave into honeycombs and marbled surfaces - a shoreline carved by weather.

Cape Ashizuri
Granite cliffs at Shikoku's southern tip, reached through a tunnel of camellia branches.
KochiMuseumsTosashimizu
John Manjiro Museum
A castaway who reached America and returned as an interpreter; copies of the phrasebook he made survive.
Kochi
Kochi Sunday Market
A street market held for over three centuries; once a week a city avenue changes character entirely.

A beach of many-coloured pebbles, long famous for moon viewing, with Ryoma's statue facing the sea.
