"It would be great to have Sachi-san's piano there."
I was driven by that thought, which felt almost like an intuition,
on the day Sachi-san invited me,
"Why don't you hold a Hitoiro Exhibition in the Kanto region too?"
Finding a gallery with a piano was difficult,
but with a lot of help from my friends,
we were able to decide on the Yokohama Okurayama Memorial Hall.
A quiet, spacious gallery filled with natural light.
The building where music can be heard from here and there.
And the room with a piano
that Sachi-san rented.
The fact that you "have to climb" up the hill
is also one of the joys that visitors can share.
While being directed by the "autumn of art and music,"
I hope we can all gather together
to do what we want to do!
🎨Introduction to the exhibited works
We will introduce the works that will be lined up at the venue.
〇 42 original monochrome illustrations of "Iro no Ko" (Color Children)
These are original monochrome illustrations where each child is drawn with a single color.
For this exhibition, we have added 10 more since the last time.
You can also view them from this magazine.
〇 QR codes for collaborative project entries
These are collaborative works such as poems, novels, essays, and music themed around the Iro no Ko, collected on note🍀
We will post QR codes to each work's page.
You can also view them from the magazines (from April 2022,from May 2023).
We are also introducing collaborative articles in the "Hitoiro Library."

〇 Picture Book
🌸Zero no Kami (text) / Asami Ishino (art)
This is a picture book themed around color children.✨
It will be displayed on the wall for you to view.
〇 Literary works themed around color
Just as I imagined the color children from colors, I want to see what you all imagine from colors.
With that thought in mind, I asked writers with whom I have a deep connection to create these literary works themed around color.🎨
I turned my feelings into illustrations, like letters.
🌸Yami-yo no Karasu...Short story

🌸Chihaya/chihaya...Poem

💌 Thoughts from the Organizing Members
For the Hito-iro Exhibition @ Kanto as well, many people with various thoughts are lending their strength toward making it happen.
Sachi to Peace, who brought the Hito-iro Exhibition to Kanto, and Sachi to Peace (Sachi-san), along with geek-san, who is lending a great deal of help alongside Sachi-san.
We would like to share messages from both of them.
Hello!
There might be some people meeting me for the first time.
Welcome to Yokohama ^ ^
Last June, I went to see the Hito-iro Exhibition in Kanazawa.
I was lucky enough to go, but I'm sure there are many people who wanted to see it.
With that in mind, I searched for a venue in the Kanto region.
Through a stroke of luck, we decided on the Okurayama Memorial Hall in Yokohama, and I am proceeding with preparations to invite everyone, transitioning from Hito-iro Exhibition @ Kanto to Hito-iro Exhibition @ Yokohama.
Along with the gallery, we were able to rent a wonderful room with a piano.
I would be happy if you could look forward to the collaboration with sound in Yokohama as well♪
We look forward to seeing you all ^ ^
(Sachi to Peace)
The Okurayama Memorial Hall is located at the top of a long, uphill slope.
Come to think of it, adults might remember a piece called "If You Climb That Slope" in their Japanese textbooks. It might be in the new textbooks distributed in April. Beyond the words "if you climb that slope," there must be hope, a landscape you want to see, spreading out. I'm sure you read the work thinking that.
This autumn in Yokohama, if you climb that slope, there is the Okurayama Memorial Hall! If you climb that slope, there is the Hito-iro Exhibition! Please enjoy the authentic colors and the works that move people in a venue filled with the scent of culture.
Let's meet in the autumn.

🎶 "Rest Room with Piano" & "Private Live" *Updated as needed
"We have acquired a space with a piano"
From Sachi-san's note
At the Okurayama Memorial Hall, in addition to the gallery, there is a concert hall and a room with a piano, each of which can be rented.
To fulfill my wish of "If we're going to have an exhibition in Kanto, I'd love for it to be with Sachi-san's piano!", Sachi-san rented a room with a piano and thought of a wonderful event♪
I would be very happy if you could all participate!
＊
On the night of the first day, 9/27 (Wed), a reservation-free private live performance will be held♪
The venue is the room with a grand piano, "Meeting Room 10."
"Rather than listening in a large group,
it's an image of spending time happily in a small circle,
like having a campfire together"
is what they said♪
Won't you join us and enjoy it?
For details, please go to Sachi-san's note✨
Doyobi no Neko Tsushin-san, I am very much looking forward to the co-performance.

🌸Flower Support
Following Fukuoka, a wonderful support project has been launched in Yokohama as well.
Hitoiro-ten @ Yokohama venue
Why not decorate the gallery at the Yokohama City Okurayama Memorial Hall with flowers?
Why not support Hitoiro-ten with flowers?
For those who cannot go to Yokohama because it is too far,
flowers will enter the venue on your behalf!
You can watch over Hitoiro-ten
throughout the entire exhibition period.
Thanks to you, recruitment has ended.
Thank you to everyone who supported us!
🌸Ame Mima is thinking of a wonderful way to display the flowers😊
📷Venue Photos
We will introduce the state of the exhibition during the period with photos.
📖Afterword
“Hitoiro-ten in the Kanto region.”
Sachi-san, geek-san, Ame Mima-san, and Uwanosora-san have been working as the main pillars since the idea was first brought up.
I am already looking forward to seeing what kind of days we will spend at the "Hitoiro-ten" that you have all helped bring to life.
Illustrations I drew while playing by myself,
and an exhibition I held in the spring of 2022 like a rush job.
Thanks to wonderful encounters on the platform called note,
and with so much help from everyone,
we were able to hold it in Fukuoka and Yokohama as well.
Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude.
I would be happy if we could all laugh together on the day.
