The workshop Let's Feel the Wind was held with Susumu Shingu at Kobe City Koiso Memorial Museum of Art for 45 children from 4 year old to junior high school students.
They enjoyed the exhibit with the explanation of the artist himself and then started to cut and glue paper to make their own objects that move in the wind. They hung the completed objects form the branches of the trees in the nearby park after the workshop, and the colorful objects fluttered in the wind.
