There was a short pause.
In fact, we are currently working hard to prepare for [YAMATO FILM FESTIVAL2025], which will Held in on Sunday, March 16, the day after tomorrow.
This year's festival will screen a selection of short films selected from among many films gathered from all over the country last year.
The 12 films selected for the 15th Short Film Competition, two special films by the winners of the previous competition, and, not to be outdone, the filmmakers, who are also members of the competition jury, made one film.
A total of 15 bottles. There are various themes and flavors scattered throughout.
Admission is free. You can watch 15 movies for free. Anyone can stop by and see it, so it's a great deal lol.
I think it would be nice if there was at least one work that I liked, or that somehow left a lasting impression on me.
Well, the posters, flyers, and visitor pamphlets I made for publicity. This time, we dared to unify these concept colors.
Spring takes strong roots, delights with bright colors, and before you know it, it turns into fluff and spreads far and wide on the wind.
The color of dandelion, also known as "dandelion," is a desire to cherish the solid entertainment value of small films, the strength that is deeply rooted and will not be lost in the future, and the freedom that spreads forever and does not stay in the same place. … No, it's just that the person in charge thinks so.
After all, it's just an advertisement made by an amateur, but if it happens to catch your eye and you think, "Hmm?", and you encounter the world of short films that you didn't know before, I would be very, very happy if such a miracle happened. I hope it happens, a miracle.
We look forward to seeing you many there.

Hello everyone! Yamato City Events and Tourism Association.
The other day we talked about temples, so today I would like to introduce one shrine in Yamato.
Fukami Shrine is a shrine located about a 15-minute walk from Yamato Station on the Odakyu Enoshima Line and Sotetsu Line.
The God of worship is also known as "Takemikazuchikami" and "Takeminakatakami", and the God of worship of Kashima Jingu in the Head Shrine of Kashima Shrine is also known as "Kashima-kami Kashima-sama".
Both gods are very strong war gods in martial arts, and they are indispensable for praying for victory.
Fukami Shrine is also It is also one of one of the only Enki Shiki shrines in the city listed in the "Enki Shiki Shinto Name Book" compiled in the Nara and Heian periods. It seems to have been recorded for a very long time as one of the shrines that represents the region.
Fukami Shrine is also known for its "Harunire" tree, which is one of the 100 most famous trees in Kanagawa and a scenic natural monument of the Yamato City Historic Site. This elm, which is about 30 meters high, is rare in lowlands like Yamato, and was called "Nanjamonja tree" because the tree species was unknown at first, and it is still popular as a name unique to the Locals.
Fukami Shrine is located in a quiet residential area. It is also recommended to stop by as a walking course.

Today, I'm going to talk about how cute the stone statues in a temple called Josenji Temple in Yamato City are.
Josenji Temple is a famous temple in Yamato City, known as the "Temple of Flowers".
It is a healing spot where trees and flowers calm the mind every season.
Arhat statues and kappa are scattered around the Josenji premises.
All of the children have rich expressions, and you can Oyster various imaginations such as "What are you thinking?", "Friendly and relaxed", "Fun with everyone", etc.
They may also be enjoying watching the people who come to the temple.
The lively stone statues are really unique and adorable.

When I was a child, I thought the faces of Japan dolls were kind of scary, but when I look at them like this as an Adult, I feel their beauty and cuteness. It's strange, isn't it?
