In the video, we started by erasing the blackboard art "Midori Ward, I found!" produced in 2020, and introduce the process of creating blackboard art that is not normally visible in time-lapse.

As the name implies, Midori Ward, which has a desire to preserve greenery beautifully, has a lot of greenery and is an area where agriculture is thriving in the city. We held an event to communicate the appeal of Midori Ward in a fun and easy-to-understand manner with the power of art.
The venue, Yamashita Regional Exchange Center, was opened in April 1989, utilizing the wooden school building of Yamashita National School (now Yamashita Elementary School), which was built in 1942 (Showa 17). . It is the only historical building that exists as a wooden school building of Yokohama City School. Yamashita Elementary School is a historic school that celebrated its 150th anniversary this year, founded in July 1872 as "Nakamura Gakusha". (Source: Yokohama City School History Magazine)
Taking advantage of these roots, we have been reviving as a fictional school called "Yamashita Gakusha cultural festival" since fiscal 2020 to showcase local attractions (nature, agriculture, history, cityscape, etc.) to the next generation, including children.
