This is the wall art from the last Design Festa It's quite different from what we originally planned. My face was hitting a cut in the paper, so I avoided it, but it was bigger than planned. I was drawing with ad-libs If you look at it blankly, you can accidentally see the face of a dragon. If you try to draw a flower, you can see a bird.  Drawing what you see on the spot in time is interesting because it is unique to events. We will also participate in the Design Festa in November with wall art. If you have time, please come and see it. The more you do it in front of people, the more you grow, and if there are limits, you think about breaking them. That's the biggest growth, isn't it?

It's not a summer festival, but... We filmed Hiroshima's traditional event "Touro Flow" Touro Float is a traditional event in Hiroshima City to commemorate the victims of the atomic bomb and pray for peace. My great-grandfather was an A-bomb victim. I am a fourth-generation A-bomb survivor. Even now, after the death of my grandparents, I still carry on my thoughts and play it every year. This year, for the first time in four years, the regular event has been held, and the "hand-flowing touro" that you can play yourself has also been revived. I can't call it a festival, but I post it because it was a memorial service. Colorful lanterns with ?☘️? thoughts of peace from all over the world
