A Tree-Making Workshop Creating Sustainable Art Together

Did you know about “lost flowers”? These are flowers that are still beautiful but discarded for various reasons. In Japan, it is estimated that approximately 1 billion flowers are disposed of annually.

Why not join us in giving new life to these lost flowers by creating a large tree together? This workshop brings together people of different cultures and languages to express intercultural coexistence in Minato City through creative dialogue.

<Special Benefits for Participants>
① Your name will be displayed alongside the completed artwork!
② Receive a certificate of participation in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) activities.
③ Take home a special set of lost flowers to enjoy at home!
