"WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR / VENICE"

"WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR / VENICE"

A series called "Wish upon a star" is painted on the wall of the flood control warehouse. The city of Venice can be seen in the morning or at dusk. A boy and a girl on a boat are holding stars and looking up at the sky.

The last thing I would like to introduce is a work painted in the lobby of the "OKB gymnastics arena". Four women are represented in the four seasons, and the patterns of each kimono are decorated with cherry blossoms, morning glory, maple, and peony.

It is a work that delicately expresses the beauty of Japan. We also hope that it will be a boost for children who are aiming for the world in competition.

A mural painted at Ogawa&#39;s alma mater.

This time, we visited 10 works centering on Anpachi. Mr. Ogawa's work has the charm of bringing rich feelings and happiness to the viewer's heart.

Many people might think of art as "luxury" or "difficult", and few people think of art as something that is familiar to them on a daily basis. However, if it is a wall art that blends into the city, you should be able to enjoy art as something more familiar.

It seems that the number of works will gradually increase in the future, so please visit the works while feeling the scenery.
