Business Overview
From a historical perspective, Tokyo's waterfront resources since the Edo period, such as the Kanda River, Nihonbashi River, and Sotobori, have immense value. In the Tenmabune Project, a mini tenmabune (about 25 cm in length), which is modeled after a wooden Japanese boat, is floated on the Kanda River (between Seibashi and Manseibashi) and a time trial is conducted, following the flow of the river. For every donation of 1000 yen, participants can get the right to participate in 1 mini trolley boat, and on the day of the event, you can watch the mini trolley boats all flowing from the upper reaches of the river via a webcast. A portion of the donations collected will be used to clean up the Kanda River and promote river culture. This art project aims to gradually change people's awareness of rivers through events and donations.

Profile
[General Incorporated Association Non Profit Art Activity Organization Command N]
Started in 1997 by members involved in cultural and artistic activities. Named after the Macintosh shortcut key "command + N". It became a general incorporated association in 2010. We are developing a number of projects based on the concept of "Artist Initiative," in which artists themselves plan and manage projects and give back to the community. In 2017, our 20 year anniversary, we held a special exhibition, "Open a new page!."
