The Shiogama City Library's Mobile Van is getting a makeover and you are invited to help design it!
An iconic local staple delivering books and the joy of reading to people of all ages across Shiogama City, we are holding a workshop to help design and bring new life for the beloved library van's exterior. Known for his vibrant, dynamic, and free-spirited artworks, Artist ASAKURA Kohei will gather and integrate the drawings created by participants and transform them into a cohesive and unique work to be displayed on the van's new design.
If you have a passion for drawing, books, or have an itch to see their own artwork driving through the streets, come join us! Everyone from all ages and backgrounds are invited.
Let’s collaborate and show our collective love for books through color and art in helping bring out new life to Shiogama City's Mobile Library!
