Grass Roll Painting Returns!
Last year, we painted Setoushi-kun on a pair of stacked grass rolls,
and the result proved more popular than expected,
so we decided to do it again this year!

Grass Roll Painting

This year’s installation is in front of the management building at the Forest Park.

If you spot a large orange object from around the intersection by the post office,
that’s the grass roll.

Using oil-based paint and markers,
and with help from children visiting the park,
we finished the painting.

There’s even the autograph of that person who visited during Golden Week!

The display will remain until around autumn.
If you pass by, please come and take a look.

Singer-songwriter JUN will perform live!

He will play both original songs and covers.

Performances are from 13:00–13:30 and 15:00–15:30.

Join the Mölkky knocking contest, where you throw wooden pins (Mölkky sticks) to topple wooden skittles.

The first 10 people to arrive can participate.
There are participation prizes, so please join in.

〇 Monday, May 5
Why not try decorating a wooden castanet?

This popular workshop is becoming a regular feature.
The fee is 200 yen per item.

Workshop times are 10:00–11:30 and 13:00–15:00.
Each session is limited to 20 groups.

Both the Mölkky contest and the castanet decorating workshop take registrations on the day on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please enjoy the exhibits inside Kimu as well as the events!

Hydrangea Wreath
Thursday, April 10
From Onesmanorgarden
We invited garden planner Instructor Sato
to lead a hydrangea wreath-making lesson.

How to make the wreath:
Attach dried hydrangeas and other flowers, berries, and leaves to a base.

It sounds very simple in words,
but dried flowers crumble easily, and the attaching work requires a lot of technique.

It’s hard to handle them gently while securing them firmly…

Looking at the other participants,
they used a unified color palette for their materials and arranged them thoughtfully.
They balanced areas with abundant, soft volume and places made sleek and tidy.

I just attached things as they came and barely finished,
but seeing the completed piece still filled me with joy.

I also learned how to make a stylish ribbon.

Thank you, Instructor Sato, and everyone who joined the lesson!

Window Art at KAMU
Saturday, April 5
Children and adults gathered at KAMU,
picked up crayons, and painted pictures on the windows.

Being able to freely draw on the windows of a public building has become a regular event in Nishiokoppe Village, but it may still be a rare opportunity for many.

From large panes to narrow ones, the windows filled up with drawings.

Some people focused on a single window by themselves,
while others created collaborative works with friends next door.

One great thing about window art is
you can capture both the artwork and the artist’s expression from across the way in a single photo.

Photos posted on social media often hide faces,
but we still managed to take many lively shots this time.

Midway through the event, shadows of the drawings and the artists appeared on the floor, so we snapped a photo.

We were also happy that a parent and child who happened to stop by KAMU joined in the drawing.

The window art will be on display until around the end of Golden Week in May.
If you’re nearby, please come and see the artwork.

The five windows beside the mechanical organ are adorned with works by volunteer villagers, so don’t miss them.

Full Bloom
Could this be the earliest in Hokkaido…?

The cherry trees have bloomed earlier than usual this year.

Inside the Forest Museum Kimu.

The Kimu staff worked together
to create the tree, grow its branches, and bring the flowers to life.

Mornings and evenings are still chilly,
but seeing the cherry blossoms makes us feel spring is drawing near.

When you visit Kimu,
please enjoy the cherry trees in full bloom!

Fire in the Snow
Late March during spring break.
Just when it seemed to be warming up, Nishiokoppe Village experienced unsettled weather, feeling a bit chilly with snow flurries in the sky.

Still, the children who gathered despite the cold
built bonfires and played in the snow, showing lively energy.

The children started the bonfires themselves.
They practiced using matches and thought about how to arrange the wood so it would catch fire easily.

Once the bonfire was burning well,
the smoke completely hid the faces of those standing on the far side.

Beside the fire,
adults and children alike engaged in a wholehearted snowball fight.

The roasted sweet potatoes turned out warm and delicious.

The season when you can see both snow and bonfires
may be coming to an end soon.

Marigold Dyeing
On an unspecified day in March, a wood-learning activity for preschoolers included a dyeing experience.

As the marigolds simmered, the clear water gradually took on color.

The children twisted bottle caps into the fabric and tied them tightly with rubber bands.

They then dropped the mysteriously shaped bundles of cloth into the pot one after another.
After some time, they took the cloth out of the pot and dipped it into a liquid with “magic powder” dissolved in it…

The cloth came out dyed a gentle yellow.

The marks from the caps and rubber bands formed pleasing patterns, creating original dyed fabric.
