Original arrangements of well-known folktales! Children’s Book Forest Kobe

On April 22, “Let’s make a digital picture-story show that will make you laugh” will be held at “Kodomo Hon no Mori Kobe” in Chuo-ku, Kobe City. Reservations are required in advance and can be made until April 3.
An event for parents and children to enjoy together will be held.
This event will be held to commemorate the first anniversary of the museum’s opening. The event will feature Happiness Hizioka, an illustrator who grew up in Kobe and designs cartoons and characters for TV, corporate advertisements, and events.
Happiness Hizioka calls herself “Kansai’s most irresponsible person. He will create a digital picture-story show based on the well-known Japanese folk tale “Momotaro” by adding various imaginative ideas of “what if it had been 00? Illustrations drawn by participants will be synthesized on the spot into an original digital picture-story show. At the end of the event, there will be a viewing of the works.
They can also learn firsthand about the work of illustrators and tips on how to draw characters. The event requires advance registration, and participation by pairs of parents and children is a prerequisite. <A word from the reporter>
In addition to the setting of “What if it were 00…?”, participants are sure to enjoy a completely different Momotaro, with pictures they have drawn.
