In addition to keychains and building blocks from the “Offerings from the earth” series, we will be holding workshops where participants can enjoy creating items such as pot holders and stamps made from cardboard while learning about the properties of the materials.
Come experience creative dance—a collaborative activity where you can feel the connection between mind and body.
A group of students from the Department of Theater in the College of Arts at Nihon University will present a performance that explores the nature of “individuality”—a concept shaped by the chance encounters and relationships that weave the fabric of human life. Focusing on the relationship between self-formation and dance expression, the performance illustrates how people change through experience and how their emotions and sensations are transformed into physical expression.Using the fluctuations of human emotion and the perception of the passage of time as clues, the performance traces the memories and sensibilities etched into each body, depicting through dance the process by which an individual’s existence is woven together through interactions with others.

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.With agriculture as its foundation, the center provides a space to help each individual discover their unique strengths through food, daily life, play, and dance. It also serves as the “Children’s Five Senses Art Museum,” offering art experiences that engage the whole body—beyond just “seeing”—and is the home ground of “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.
