Tanba Junior high School


@Our school is small school of the gorge with seventeen students.
Students discussed about "Let's try a somewhat big thing though it is a minority."
Then, we began KIDS' GUERNICA.
@We were thought to be right just because we proceeded with learning about the peace.
@It was too big a screen to seventeen students. It took three years from the plan to the completion.
There was a student who participated in the production after he graduated.
The sketch which each person's wish was put into was drawn, and those were collected, and they talked with all, and constructed again before the production of this picture.
The girl being drawn in the center greatly drew it with an angel's image.
A river is the Tanba River to flow through the front of school.
It hoped that the rich nature of the village and life and peace followed eternally.
A tank drew the state to be rusting and not to use any more.
A feeling of us each was put and given to the pigeon.
Each person's autograph was put in the pigeon gently.
We thought "The person who saw it if we put a feeling and it is drawn is surely impressed deeply."
