Not only on the street but also in shops(torien and Daikokuya), our works had been exhibited and visitors and the shop owners were pleased by that. The flags with words which guests mumbled in painting Street Profile Line Image flied on Naka-dori street and I named this exhibition Mumble Gallery. You can see this video on YouTube.

●Exhibition 2012
We asked participants about their memories at Omoideyokochou and about how they want Omoideyokochou to be developed in the future during street-profile-painting-session. Someone said that it's good to put whole of Yokochou into new big building for conservation purpose. We adopted this opinion and painted big empty building on the background of Street Profile. In our exhibition, we juxtaposed this year's Street Profile Picture Scroll and that of 4 years ago in a sheet. You could see changes of Yanagi street between 4 years by comparing two Picture Scrolls.
