Participation by Primary School Students of Date City in Fukushima Prefecture
Students of Yanagawa Elementary School, which is located quite close to the knitwear manufacturer Dysun in Date City, were invited to participate in designing scarves and blankets for this event. With the school’s cooperation, a total of 422 designs were submitted, from which a special judging panel – creative director Michihiko Yanai and art director Koichi Kosugi – selected 6 to be shown, and sold, alongside the works by the 177 creative artists.

Maika Iwadate, 1st grade
“Orange Curtain”
I drew this remembering how pretty the orange color of “anpogaki” (dried persimmons) was that I saw in winter. I wanted people to remember the orange color of anpogaki all the time, wherever they are. -
Kai Takeda, 4th grade
“Lucky Bent Tail”
Our family cat’s tail isn’t straight. Its tip is slightly bent. In Europe, though, it’s called a cat of happiness. That’s why I’m happy every day. I decided on this so everyone would become happy. -
Ryu Takahashi, 2nd grade
“Beetles Playing Hide-and-Seek”
I really like rhinoceros beetles and stag beetles, and for my drawing I chose a camouflage pattern and put them in it, hidden, so people would have fun finding them. I hope friends who also like rhinoceros beetles and stag beetles will enjoy using it. -
Taisei Miura, 3rd grade
“I’m a Successor”
I wanted to make something cool but couldn’t think of anything, so I just wrote something. -
Airi Seki, 5th grade
“Floating Lanterns”
When I saw the floating lanterns during the Obon Festival, I thought it was very pretty how they bobbed up and down in the river. Even if we move away from Yanagawa after we grow up, I wanted people to look at this lap blanket and remember this place where we were born and raised. -
Naotaro Otsuki, 6th grade
“Exploration in the Camouflage Forest”
Please close your eyes and imagine what it would be like to take a deep breath in a forest like this. If it were me, I’d really be energized by it. It would also make me brave. That’s because it’s the colors of the peace recovery squad.
