A Special Exhibition featuring the work of artist Yukino Omura, who creates paintings using round stickers typically found in stationery sets, was held at the NUNAGAWA Campus in the winter of 2026. The exhibition presented paintings depicting the nightscapes of Echigo-Tsumari and urban nightscapes as an installation.

While still a student, she presented paintings depicting nightscapes using round adhesive labels typically found on stationery.

Starting in fiscal year 2025, she will be responsible for the illustrations for the “Literary Criticism” column in the Asahi Shimbun.
In addition to exhibiting her artwork, she supervises audience-participatory workshops where anyone can create art simply by applying stickers, and appears as a judge for the round sticker art segment on the MBS-produced show “Prebato!!.”

Nunagawa Elementary School, which closed in March 2014, has been reborn as a school where students can learn about the value of their local community through hands-on experiences.Based on agriculture, we provide a space to help each individual discover their unique strengths through food, daily life, play, and dance. Additionally, as the “Children’s Five Senses Art Museum,” we present art that engages the whole body—beyond just “seeing”—and it also serves as the home ground for “FC Echigo-Tsumari,” an agricultural professional soccer team where female players from the city have relocated to become stewards of the Rice Fields and continue playing soccer.
