Projection Mapping
The projection mapping images that will be projected onto the woods of Himawari no Sato this time were produced by eight third and fourth year students from the Department of Information Media Studies at Hokkaido Information University (Ebetsu City) under the guidance of Associate Professor Oshima Keitaro (with cooperation from Hokuryu Town village supporter Murakami Nobuyuki and local revitalization cooperation team member Sasaki Yui).
The projected images are mystical and glittering like art of light, with patterns of sunflowers, fireworks, dragons and more.

With boundless love, gratitude and prayers, this wonderful time was filled with thrilling emotions, from the heart-stirring beat of the Hokuryu Taiko drums, the adorable children's Bon Odori dance, the unique and gorgeous costume Bon Odori dance, and the midsummer night light festival projection mapping and fireworks.
