The Untold Story

Behind the scenes story

The beginning of the production The wall that originally served as a horse stable was cleaned up using high-pressure washing, and white primer was applied. The production began with the creation of a work based on the natural beauty of Kurima Island. The days of creating a work that depicts the island’s life began.

Support for the island Despite being ill in the scorching heat, the donations of kietsumango and atemyo from the island residents gave me strength. Every day, I received encouragement from them, and the work grew throughout the entire island.

The moment of completion On the final day, a bouquet of flowers was presented by the mayor, and it was also featured in a local newspaper. “Connecting to the Future,” filled with the island’s warmth, has become a work that welcomes many people as a treasure of Kurima Island.
