Children's Book Forest is a cultural facility for children, but on Wednesday, February 2 (18: 00-20: 00), the first event for adults, "Children's Book Forest Adult Night Tour & Talk" was held.
Tetsuro Idekawa, director of the The Museum of Oriental Ceramics, OSAKA, and Mayumi Ito, director of the Nakanoshima Children's Book, talked about the charm of Nakanoshima, and after the end, adults will enjoy a night tour.
First, Director Idekawa talked about the special features of The Museum of Oriental Ceramics, OSAKA exhibitions and events.
The The Museum of Oriental Ceramics, OSAKA will be closed for a long time until the fall of 2023 due to renovation work from February 7 (Monday). He also talked about how it will be renewed and the outlook after the renewal.
Next, the theme was interesting as a whole based on the explanation of Creative Island Nakanoshima, such as the charm of the architecture of facilities in Nakanoshima such as Central Osaka City Central Public Hall, and when Nakanoshima, which has an image of a business district, began to coexist as a cultural city such as an art museum.
Finally, Director Ito explained the characteristics and charm of the Children's Book Forest. Participants also asked questions about books such as selections and rare books, and some questions such as whether there were plans for future night tours, which were substantial.
After the conversation, we freely toured the hall and enjoyed reading.
Opening at night was the first attempt, but it was a fruitful time to hear from adult participants, such as feeling like returning to childhood.
