Review of the Design Activities : Forestry Girls Make the Original Picture Books!

Abstract

Our daily lives are composed of things that can be measured. However, we live close by the fact that there is an immeasurable world behind it. I went to Shingo-mura, Sannohe-gun, Aomori Prefecture with a design student, joined the activities of the people in the mountains, listened to the story of living with mountains, and conducted a class to create a picture book by looking at them. In this paper, we consider how the activity of trying to see the invisible object of mountains, which includes the complex correlation between non-humans and nature, has influenced students’ picture book production.
