We prepared an environment that would allow the children to explode with creativity, and we worked to encourage them to create in a natural way and to communicate how they were doing. The children worked together with architects and carpenters to create a building, a 7-meter-high Skyman, and a “children-only town,” a society that they could not create alone.
The children were supported by illustrator Yasmichi Inoue, who helped them develop their images and give them shape, and by the music group “Tottentan,” who joined the children on stage to celebrate the final day, as well as by high school and university students and other people who are not normally involved in such activities. The festival was also held on the last day of the festival.
