I'm really looking forward to this.
I'm joining, too!
Fifteen years ago, when CANVAS was working on community development centered on children’s activities in Nagasaki, Mr. Junji Ito was the director of the Nagasaki Prefectural Museum of Art, and he generously allowed us to use the museum.
I can't believe we're meeting again in a place like this!
It's so much fun being at Yoshimoto—there are so many new encounters and reunions.
Nagasaki Prefecture, Nagasaki City, the Nagasaki Prefectural Board of Education, the Nagasaki City Board of Education, Nagasaki Prefectural Siebold University, the Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum, the Nagasaki Prefectural Tourism Federation, the Nagasaki Tourism Video Production Support Center, TV Nagasaki… We are deeply grateful to everyone in Nagasaki for all their tremendous support during that time.
I used to eat champon every day. At the time, I thought, “I’m done with champon,” but now I’d love to go eat it again.
The "Let's Make Japan and the Earth More Fun" Club—I'm really looking forward to it.
