Judge’s comment

Chikae Takahashi

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 Chairman

When I saw the colored picture, I felt that each person enjoyed it. Thank you for applying from a wide range of ages, from 2 years old to adults. We enjoyed it.

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.
