Osaka City Junior High School Cultural Festival “Art Exhibition” --- Encountering Paintings That Moved the Heart

The Osaka City Junior High School Cultural Federation’s Art Exhibition, which began on Tuesday, October 7, concluded today.
I visited the Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts on its final day.

The exhibition hall was filled wall-to-wall with two-dimensional artworks created by students from junior high schools across the city.
From colorful paintings to detailed sketches, design works, and prints, each piece reflected the artist’s time, care, and emotion.
Every school’s entries were outstanding — the kind of works that make you pause and simply look a little longer.

Among them, Hokuryō Junior High School’s works stood out with their distinct presence.
The use of color, the balance of composition, and the perspective on each subject — all expressed a clear and confident voice of individuality.
Each piece seemed to carry the artist’s breath and emotion, quietly touching the hearts of those who viewed it.

We would like to extend our deepest respect to all the participating students and schools,
as well as heartfelt gratitude to the teachers and staff who guided and supported them,
and to the organizers who made this exhibition possible.
Once again, the power of art reminded us how gently — yet powerfully — it connects people.
