[Kyoto University of Art and Design]Higashiyama District Jizo has a Jizo Bon in Mr./Ms., so why doesn’t Zhong Mr./Ms. have such a thankless festival?
While developing a workshop on making Zhong, he created a life-size Zhong Feng.
It will be enshrined as an official matsuri event at Wakamiya Hachimangu, which is also a pottery shrine, and a festival will be held in November to thank Zhong.
We will establish the order and format of the festival, the participation and interaction of new and old residents, etc., and start work for its implementation in November.Tanoji District Revitalization Project
[300,000 yen]Kyoto University of Art and Design, Tanoji District Revitalization Project
[Kyoto University of Art and Design]Nakagyo-ku Focusing on the town name, which is the successor of the town’s upbringing, we investigate its origin and aspects of life.
We believe that this area, which was originally a town that integrates work and residence, is deeply related to these areas, and we also comprehensively grasp and consider the lifestyle and culture of Jizo, Zhong, Nitan signs, stone monuments, and townhouses that we have investigated so far.
As a report on the results, we will hold several events and workshops to return the charm of the new area to the local residents.Aim for Kohaku Murasakino Strategy!
[300,000 yen]Murasaki Kidzu (Bukkyo University)
[Bukkyo University]Kita-ku This time, the business that we Murasaki Kidzu are applying for is “Aim for Kohaku Murasaki Daisaku !!” This is what it is. Purple Friends (hereinafter referred to as PF), which has become the “Star of Murasakino”, plans to conduct a disaster prevention awareness campaign at facilities and communities using the fourth original song, “Disaster Prevention Counting Song (tentative)”. In addition, we plan to develop “disaster prevention goods for elderly people living alone” based on the voices of PF. This project is expected to raise awareness of disaster prevention among PF and local residents. Jump out, campus! @Fukakusa Machiya
[300,000 yen]Non-profit organization Fukakusa-Ryukoku Machiya Community
【Ryukoku University】Fushimi Ward Ryukoku University’s Fukakusa Machiya Campus will be used as a place for students, citizens, governments, and local organizations to interact with each other, and related organizations and individuals will use the space to carry out projects aimed at inheriting local culture and traditions and revitalizing the region by making the most of their own characteristics.
In addition, the “Student Planning Committee” organized by volunteers from Ryukoku University students who belong to the corporation is responsible for planning and operating the project, and it will work with the local community to identify various regional issues and create projects for the development and revitalization of the region. The proposed projects are “Machiyamyu ~ Jiamu Project” and “Machiya

[300,000 yen]Kyoto Koka Women’s University Environmental Volunteer Circle “Greenkeeper”
【Kyoto Koka Women’s University】Ukyo Ward There has been a green belt in front of Hankyu Nishikyogoku Station for a long time, and it has been responsible for the preservation of the environment and landscape. However, about five years ago, residents expressed their desire to make more effective use of the area as a place of relaxation for the community, and a project to redevelop the green belt has started this fiscal year. From the viewpoint of environmental consideration and gratitude for nature, this project aims to make effective use of zelkova trees cut down during the redevelopment and to enjoy interaction between the university and the local community through the implementation of the project and the wood products after the implementation. Sanjo Lively Light Project
[298,000 yen]Kyoto Institute of Technology Sasaki Urban Development Laboratory
[Kyoto Institute of Technology]Nakagyo-ku The neighborhood between Horikawa-dori and Shinmachi-dori in Sanjo-dori has the charm of Kyoto, where the old and the new intersect, such as the opening of new stores, while retaining the old townscape. On the other hand, the streets have become loopholes and are not well known. Although the population has increased due to the construction of condominiums, there are no mechanisms to improve the quality of life in the exterior space, and I felt the need to create a mechanism for regional revitalization.
We will continue to collaborate with the university and the community in the neighborhood, develop projects in collaboration with local activities and plastic artists, and create “street specialties”.Let’s Ono GO
[300,000 yen]Let’s Ono GO
[Bukkyo University]Kita-ku In this project, we will mainly work on the following three points.
First of all, we will create a “guidebook” to rediscover the charm of Onogo. In addition, we plan and implement a “music festival” for the purpose of gathering and interacting with diverse people. This is also to disseminate information about Onogo and create opportunities for interaction with other regions. In addition, as a way to create a place where the elderly themselves can play a role, we will hold a “shimenawa making workshop”. Through these projects, we will promote regional revitalization of Onogo and support for the elderly.Let’s be more transformed! Sanjo Street

This year, we will promote the charm of Sanjo throughout the year, such as “Liver Dameshi Sanjo!”, which introduces the history of the area in a fun way, and “Another Shopping Street ~ Shutter Art Street< > Revitalization of the Town through Art, Cosplay, and Music”, which creates the charm of the shopping street from the shutter art drawn by students. In addition, at the annual “Ghost Parade”, there will be a “Ghost Contest” to power up. Let’s dance Sassa Shimogamo Ondo

This year, which marks the 140th anniversary of the founding of Shimogamo Elementary School, the Seika Regional Cultural Project, in collaboration with the Shimogamo Gosho Ondo and Autumn Leaves Festival Preservation Society, will sing and dance for the revival of Shimogamo Ondo at Jizo Bon and sports events in each town to deepen local ties.

Regarding (1), it will be prepared through interviews with residents, WS, visits and surveys to the Fukakusa Branch Office in Fushimi Ward, the Kyoto City Water Supply and Sewerage Bureau, and other areas. With regard to (2), we aim to create a bird’s-eye view that depicts the thoughts and charms of the draft ordinance, and to reconfirm the charm of the town and provide an opportunity for residents to think about the future of the town themselves.Project to connect Arashiyama and Katsura River with a “raft” 2013

In addition, a raft made of thinned wood is connected to the riverbank, etc., to create a mechanism to enjoy the scenery. Through these activities, we aim to make the local people aware of the current situation of Arashiyama, and to restore the “connection between mountains, rivers, and people” by providing an opportunity for them to think about proactive sustainable forest and river management and how to use the mountains and rivers as tourism resources.

[100,000 yen]Arashiyama Dream Project 2013 ~Arashiyama Story as a Souvenir~【Kyoto Saga University of Arts】 Ukyo Ward Arashiyama, which is bustling as one of Japan’s leading tourist attractions, does not have souvenirs called Arashiyama specialties. Therefore, this time, focusing on the fact that Ogura bean paste and rice crackers, which have been handed down since ancient times, are the birthplace of Arashiyama, we will try to develop a region-limited original brand in collaboration with Arashiyama Shopping Street and other organizations in order to disseminate resources related to Kore Arashiyama both inside and outside Japan. We would like to use this as an opportunity to create a shared property in the region that makes use of local resources by sending a new design wind to Arashiyama through the fresh senses of the students.
Implementation Report
Heisei 25 Public Presentation (2nd Screening)
On Saturday, June 29, 2013, a public presentation of the “Heisei 25 Gakumachi Collaboration Project (University Regional Collaboration Creation and Support Project)” was held at Campus Plaza Kyoto to support efforts aimed at regional revitalization in Kyoto City.

This year, there were 33 applications, and 22 organizations that passed the first round of selection made presentations. Of these, several projects were selected as subsidized projects (up to 300,000 yen per project), but all of them were wonderful efforts to revitalize the region.
