The Opening Ceremony of Atelier in the Rice Paddies was held on June 11, 2011. It was a miracle that rain stopped just in time for the open-air ceremony. About 400 participants enjoyed nice weather in the middle of rainy season, looking at the sculptures in the rice paddies and genki-nobori streamers. photo: Yumi Shingu, Koichi Kawasaki
