Greetings from ds106:Tell us where you are, where you're from, or simply where you'd rather be and build a greeting card.
So, I decided to create a greeting card from my hometown, Tokushima.
Hello, from Tokushima!!! :D
Greetings from Tokushima! :)

Image: Tokushima-5 by luisete through CC licensing\I'm from Tokushima, Japan.
I grew up in tokushima and lived there until when I was a junior high school student.
At the moment I live in Tokyo and I still often go back to Tokushima because I miss it there and I can't help it :)
Tokushima is a small town and people often make fun of it because it is inaka (countyside), but I love it and I'm proud of the fact that I come from there.
Tokushima is a beautiful island called Shikoku and it is surrounded by clean sea and mountains.
The picture I embedded is Awaodori, which is famous dance in Tokushima.
I chose this photo because it is a great fun to see it.
Every summer, Awaodori festival is held and awadance is enjoyed by many people who are not only from Tokushima but also from other area of Japan and world! :D
2011 Tokushima Awa Dance Poster was pretty famous because famous illustrator created it.
Here's a video clip if you never see Awaodori:
Hope you enjoy reading this assighment and know about Tokushima a little bit more :)
The way you've actually done a ds106 assignment as your midterm practical activity is both impressive and awesome. You've splendidly provided great info to your readers in a visually attractive way.
返信削除I love it.
I really like the design you made for Tokushima! The bright, flat colours and thick black outlines used remind me a lot about a game series called Taiko no Tatsujin (https://www.google.com/search?q=taiko+no+tatsujin&hl=ja&safe=off&biw=1599&bih=789&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=XmerTqvXAa7EmQW89YTnDg&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CBgQ_AUoAQ) which is interesting because as commercialised as the series has become, the premise is about beating a traditional Taiko drum.
返信削除Your emphasis on Awaodori is also interesting because I used to live in Kita-koshigaya, Saitama and they would have an Awaodori festival once a year as well so your descriptions and pictures definitely bring up some memories for me! :D
