The purpose of this festival is to create a place for international exchange and mutual understanding among student filmmakers and filmmakers, as well as to discover and disseminate new talents who will support the film industry in the future from among the many possibilities of student filmmakers.

“Shikasu” is a volunteer group of Kyoto Seika University students who are working to expand opportunities for local children and the elderly to come into contact with art, mainly by holding art workshops at children’s centers and day service centers in Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City.

This time, we will exhibit a booth at the “55th Iwakura Autumn Festival” hosted by Iwakura Hospital, and the students of “Shikasu” will create caricatures for those who wish.

On the day of the event, it was very popular with everyone from children to the elderly, and from the very beginning, people who wanted to make reservations came one after another.

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.

In the future, Shikasu will continue to hold various art workshops to make creative activities familiar to people who do not usually have the opportunity to come into contact with art.

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.

KSSK was established in 2008 with the basic philosophy of “a practitioner’s perspective,” in which practitioners involved in supporting students with disabilities “kneel down” and frankly discuss the successes and failures of support. Subsequently, the importance of supporting students with disabilities increased due to the enforcement of the law, and KSSK came to the attention of a good example of a regional network. In the commemorative lecture, Dr. Ishida, who was involved in the founding of the network, will talk about his thoughts at the time and the circumstances that led to its launch, as well as the expected role of the regional network in the future.
