Participated in Ikebe Shimin-no-Mori Bamboo Lantern Festival

　
　We participated in the bamboo lantern festival held at Ikebe Shimin-no-Mori on Saturday, November 11th.
　At the venue, bamboo lanterns produced by local people, such as the Ikebe Shimin-no-Mori Protection Association, and local people, such as the Ikebe Shimin-no-Mori Protection Association, and the children of local Miyakoda Elementary School and Tsutoda Nishi Elementary School, utilizing bamboo cut down to manage bamboo forests. I appreciate it. Approximately 1,000 lanterns quietly illuminated the bamboo grove square, and the world of mystery different from the light of fluorescent lamps was spreading. In particular, the children's works were all wonderful and full of individuality, and I was surprised at 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 nights when I felt the deepening of autumn.
　I heard that this was my first initiative, but I wanted to grow a forest together with you so that this kind of event could lead to the next generation as an environmental conservation and SDGS initiatives.
