My Fukushima – Bridge of Dreams 2019 Winning Entries Exhibition 2020/8/6(Thu)～2020/8/25(Tue)

Thank you for visiting the ‘My Fukushima – Bridge of Dreams 2019 Winning Entries Exhibition’, organized by the Fukushima Bridge of Friendship Society. This exhibition showcases 52 outstanding works selected from among some 2,000 entries in this year’s art contest for elementary school children in Fukushima Prefecture. Following the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and the subsequent nuclear disaster, Fukushima was shrouded in a cloud of negativity that affected people’s attitudes and actions in all aspects of life. This art contest came from the desire to bring about change through pictures of ‘a bridge of dreams’, drawn by the children who are the area’s future.Thanks to continued support this contest, now in its seventh year, has become well established within Fukushima Prefecture, reaching a total of 10,000 entries over that time. Like those that came before, this year’s winning entries brim with the children’s uniquely rich imagination and use of color. We hope you enjoy viewing Fukushima’s strong recovery through ‘Bridge of Dreams’.
