Our city's Third Annual Easter Egg Festival was held today at the park along the Chikuma River in front of our onsen town, Togura-Kamiyamada. Despite Easter being early this year and running up against preschool graduations, we had 120 people turn out. There were lots of smiling children there, so it was a success in my book.
On a personal note, I was limited in how much I could participate this year, but thanks to all of the other volunteers, the event went relatively well. I proposed the event to the Chikuma Int'l Cultural Exchange Assoc. 3 years ago, and have been the Event Chairperson for all 3 years since then. However, all events need to be larger than any one individual to succeed. And this year, the other volunteers really stepped up to make it happen.
１２０人が今年のイースタエッグフェスティバルを楽しみました。子供の笑顔は沢山ありました。それが成功だ！
個人的なことを言わせたら、私がこのイベントの実行委員長で三年目でした。今年は特に手伝う時間が少なかったなのにイベントが無事にお子の割れた。千曲国際交流協会の皆様のお陰ですよ！有難うございました。

戸倉上山田温泉の旅館組合の行事で1宿1ギャラリーが行っています。亀清旅館で今月いっぱいまでは金子邦夫先生の版画が展示してあります。展示が終わったら、淋しくなります。この木版は亀清のロビーにとっても合っています。
As part of the Togura Kamiyamada Ryokan Assoc.'s "1-Inn, 1-Gallery" project, Kamesei has been proud to display the wood block print works of Tokyo artist Kunio Kaneko. The display continues until the end of March. Kaneko-sensei's works match our lobb so well, we will be sad when they go.
