I went to "LAST SNOW Sapporo International Art Festival SIAF2024 2124 -The Beginning of Snow-" which will be held until February 25th. The venue was the Mirai Theater, and it was a wonderful experiential art festival that utilized Shiki Theater Company's stage, backstage, and audience seats as an art space full of ideas. By integrating the latest technology and nature, interactive art in the areas of the environment, nature, living things, the earth, the future, and technology raises various issues, appeals to the viewer's consciousness, and urges action.

Visited 24/2/11. I came to see the Sapporo International Art Festival. It is easily accessible, about 5 minutes walk from Exit 2 of Odori Station on the Tozai Subway Line or the TV Tower. The theme was ``Future Theater,'' and the elaborate time-related exhibits were very impressive. I don't usually come into contact with art much, but I was very glad that I took this opportunity to go to the Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art and the Art Forest.

Kazunori Yamato and Ryoko Yamagishi were holding a two-person exhibition. The two are Hokkaido's leading manga artists. It is said that they have been in touch since their student days. Most of the merchandise, which featured beautiful original drawings and color illustrations, was sold out. They also each received flowers from fellow manga artist Moto Hagio. It gives a sense of the greatness of these two men.

The toilet was not handicapped accessible as you had to go up and down stairs, and there were no cloakrooms or lockers, which was inconvenient.
