================================================== ====
In this region, there is a custom of decorating Shinto altars with paper cutouts called “Kiriko'', which are lucky charms made by the priests of local shrines.
Using this style as a hint, the Minamisanriku Minami-no-Kiriko Project was started with the aim of visualizing people, things, and things hidden in the town using paper cutouts, and discovering and sharing local resources.
This initiative, which began before the earthquake, was taken over by the volunteer organization ENVISI after the earthquake, and continues to this day.
For a limited time, we will be exhibiting various Kiriko works created from the Minamisanriku Everyone's Kiriko Project.
Many of the cutouts on display were created by the voluntary organization ENVISI, and were cut by volunteers from Toyota Motor East Japan.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
