All of the illustration looks different even it’s the same, and I took a closer look at the works that were full of originality. All of us stayed home, and I felt the hard work made coloring the picture. I’m very happy with all of your work !
Thank you very much.

SIC Executive Director
Even though the illustrations are the same, the finished work looks completely different and
I felt the seemingly simple coloring page are depth. We are glad that foreign residents and people outside the prefecture also applied.
