I participated in the Ikebe Citizen's Forest Bamboo Lantern Festival

　
　We participated in the bamboo lantern festival held in Ikebe Citizen's Forest on Saturday, November 11th.
　At the venue, bamboo felled for the management of the bamboo grove was used to appreciate bamboo lanterns produced by local people such as the Ikebe Citizens' Forest Protection Association and local children of Tsuda Elementary School and Tsuda Nishi Elementary School together. Whats About 1,000 lanterns quietly illuminated the square of the bamboo grove, and the world of ghosts, which is a bit different from the fluorescent light, spread. In particular, the children's works were all wonderful and full of individuality, and I was surprised by their imagination.
　Unlike the daytime scenery where I participated in bamboo shoot digging in the spring, I was able to feel the new charm and potential of bamboo grove in a fantastic space perfect for night when I felt the deepening of autumn.
　I heard that this was the first initiative, but I wanted to nurture the forest together with you so that such events could lead to the next generation as environmental conservation and SDGS initiatives.
