Participants can choose their favorite from Deformed Touch, Real Touch, and Anime/Manga Touch.
It takes about 40 minutes for each caricature to be created carefully and thoughtfully one by one, but we were careful to create a fun atmosphere while communicating with the participants so as to bring out smiles on their faces.
It was very impressive to see the participants happily receiving the completed caricature with a smile.

【Activities】Environmental protection of Fushimi Fukakusa and Higashitakase River and Jizo Bon Project
We would like to introduce the efforts of the “Ryukoku University-Higashitakase River Environmental Protection and Jizo Bon Project Team” adopted this year.
The Ryukoku University’s Higashi-Takase River Environmental Protection and Jizo Bon Project Team is planning and implementing a Jizo Bon in Fushimi Ward in Fushimi Ward that allows everyone from children to the elderly to actively participate in the development of environmental protection through cleanup activities on the Higashi-Takase River together with local organizations, neighborhood associations, neighborhood associations, and students of Fushimi Technical High School.

“This year’s bamboo lanterns are handmade by students, high school students, and local residents [Friday, July 14]”
The last year of Kyoto Municipal Fushimi Technical High School, which has been working on environmental issues in the Higashi-Takase River for a long time, our students, and local residents gathered to make bamboo lanterns by hand for this year’s Jizo Bon Festival. We learned from local Mr./Ms., and together with high school and university students, we were able to make 40 pieces in one and a half hours.
Bamboo lanterns are made in collaboration with high school students, university students, and local residents, and the results of collaborative work are lit up on the Higashitakase River at night on the Jizo Basin. Now, the Jizo Bon in Kawakubo Town seems to have become firmly established as a “bamboo lantern” on the Higashi-Takase River.
“Jizo Bon in Kawakubo Town [Saturday, August 19th] “
This year’s bamboo lanterns are handmade in collaboration with students, high school students, and local residents. When the scraps were combined to draw the words “Kawakubo Town”, everyone in the area was delighted with this surprise, Mr./Ms. the community.
The popular fireworks in the evening, the watermelon hollowed-out floop punch, and of course, the bamboo lanterns from the Higashi-Takase River have now become the main event of the Kawakubo-cho Jizo Bon and many people enjoyed.
When the children’s favorite anime song plays, everyone starts singing. Mr./Ms. Tozaki, who played the story, received a big round of applause from everyone. We felt a sense of accomplishment as the venue came together through our project.
