Artpara Fukagawa 2021

This summer, the TOKYO 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games were held without spectators. Although our Koto City had 10 Tokyo 2020 venues, it was a shame we had to watch everything on TV like any other Olympics and Paralympics held overseas.

Have you had a chance to watch the Paralympic Games? What is your favorite Paralympic sport? This time I really enjoyed the wheelchair basketball. The Japanese men's wheelchair basketball team won the silver medal!

Now autumn is here, and it is known as the best season to enjoy art in Japan. I would like to introduce an event called Artpara Fukagawa 2021, which is an exhibition of art created by persons with special needs. This event is very unique because the whole Fukagawa area is turned into an art museum. As you can see in the photos from last year, art is blended in the landscape of Fukagawa.
