As a workshop project for the Tsuchiyu Arafudo Art Annual 2013, elementary school children from Fukushima City will create fantastical flying cities, like Laputa from the famous anime film “Castle in the Sky”. The children will place buildings on top of miniature islands to design their own city, and these will be attached to balloons and floated into the sky. After the workshop, a week-long exhibition will be held at Shakunage-sou. Other artists’ works will be displayed around this atmospheric town, famous for its onsen and wooden kokeshi dolls. We hope you will take the time to go and view it. (Ono)
