【Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam】
Our next mural project “Beautiful Name” will be carried out at an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam from March 7 to 9, 2018.
All children have beautiful names. This Chara-Rimpa project will highlight the beauty of each child’s name to compose a mural artwork! The children will draw-design their names and paint them on the walls. The walls will be filled with garlands of the children’s name designs, each one painted in a triangular flag shape with vivid colors.
Here are some examples,
❶ “Maria”
❷ “Nguyen”
❸ “Ho Chi Minh”
❹ “Toshie” (Written in Japanese)
❺ “Taro”
❻ “Hanako” (Written in Japanese)
