I spent a day walking the streets of the port of Uno in Okayama Prefecture, Japan. Once the bustling main point to get between Honshu and Shikoku, nowadays Uno has shrunk, its ferry train discontinued in favor of the Great Seto Bridge a few kilometers away. Uno has declined, but is still home to 5,000 people and a few ferry services that still take tourists to nearby islands. Rarely do people come here, and when they do, they almost never stay the night and actually see the town. But I did. What I found was a motley collection of some of the most unique pieces of local art anywhere in Japan, and a community of friendly residents and charming old neighborhoods.
