Let’s decorate with bamboo lanterns at the Setouchi Triennale!
Bamboo-Loving Family flowing somen Event
On July 19th, the City Board of Education’s Regional School Collaboration Project “Saturday Classes Plus” was held at the Oumi Community Center. This time, with the cooperation of the Oumi Revitalization Council, we held an event featuring bamboo lantern making and flowing somen .
When you think of Oumi, you think of bamboo lanterns.
With guidance from local residents, 15 parent-child pairs worked together to make bamboo lanterns.
Drill holes through the marked design.
At first, using an electric drill makes me a little nervous.
But it feels great when the hole opens up smoothly. I get completely absorbed in it.
Do the bigger holes require a bit more force?
For some reason, it’s the adults who get hooked until the very end.
That’s what everyone at the Oumi Revitalization Council said. 😀

Next up is the long-awaited “flowing somen.”
A handmade bamboo noodle slide. You don’t see these much anymore.
It wasn’t just somen flowing by.
Cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and ice cubes followed one after another.
Sometimes the cucumbers caused a traffic jam.
Children skillfully picked up the somen noodles with their chopsticks, completely oblivious.
It was a good start to summer.
The Setouchi triennale Executive Committee, in collaboration with the local volunteer project “Hiketa no Hikari Project” and its insect cage windows, has placed bamboo lanterns around the Hiketa area venue. These lanterns guide visitors enjoying the festival at night toward the artworks.
The 15 bamboo lanterns crafted today are displayed around the Sanshu Izutsu Residence.
Please take a leisurely stroll through the charming streets illuminated by these lanterns.
We are also recruiting volunteers to decorate with bamboo lanterns borrowed from the Oumi Revitalization Council.
