For this event, I was involved from the preparation stage as a Ukiyo-e Fortune Art Artist, and on the day of the event, I served as the stage manager.
We welcomed a wide range of visitors—from alumni and current students to local residents of all ages—and I am truly grateful that the event concluded safely without any accidents or injuries. Thank you very much to everyone who attended.
In the backstage area yesterday, the event’s general director said to me:
“During the final image check the other day, there was no end roll, so we quickly added one—and included your name as well. Thank you for all your hard work in preparing for this event.”
It was completely unexpected, so when I saw my name appear at the end, I was filled with both surprise and deep joy.
I am sincerely grateful to have been part of such a wonderful production, and for the thoughtful gesture of including my name.
