The event artwork by artist EAT&ART TARO, “Athletic meet for onigiri! “, which was well-received at Boso “Satoyama” Art Festival Ichihara Art × Mix” will come to Nunagawa Campus!
This work is about having a field day to eat delicious onigiri. Let’s eat rice balls from Echigo-Tsumari even more deliciously by original competitions. The music will be directed by Oka Makoto, the artist who created the piece “Farming implements as instruments!” The FC Echigo-Tsumari players will lead the audience to victory.
In addition, the venue direction and trophies were created by Kurakake Junichi, an artist who has created many works in the Matsudai area, including the NUNAGAWA campus.
