A mountain at the city's back and rivers threading through it - the town's shape legible from above.

Anan Coast
A lighthouse on the easternmost point of Shikoku - reef and tower, and nothing else in the frame.

Satoyama of Kamiyama
Artist residencies opened the door to migrants and satellite offices - cultural policy that changed a village's demography.
