Nagoya Children’s Art Exhibit

For the 60th anniversary of the Los Angeles – Nagoya sister city relationship, Councilmember Bob Blumenfield helped facilitate a global student art exchange, featuring art created by students in Nagoya, Japan. A reciprocal collection was created by students at NEW Academy in Canoga Park, and are featured at the Nagoya City Museum.

The pieces on exhibit at the West Valley Regional Branch Library represent a range of student interest, books, and Japanese culture. This display incorporates traditional culture such as Rakugo (comedic poetry), nature, pop culture, and literary history in the form of Lady Murasaki who created the world’s first novel around the year 1,000.
