Many participants were eager to take notes.
"I felt again that the process of making picture books and the thoughts of the writers and editors who are making books. I had a very good time."
"I thought that the person who only knew and who made the story of what he knew most was, was wonderful, that was true. Also, I wanted to read the newspaper every corner and look for hints for picture books, and no matter how old I was, I wanted to keep my interest in the world around me."
"It's very clear that 'a lot of mystery' is being made. It was interesting to know the difficulties of the editor to realize the thoughts of the author and painters. I also work on raising children and work because I want to convey the pleasure of living. I feel that I had the courage in today's lecture."
