When you hear “the future 100 years from now,” what kind of future do you imagine?
Some people may be excited and excited, while others may feel anxious due to the negative news that floods them every day.
The theme of the “100 Years Later Picture Book” series, including this “100 Nengo Tomorrow” is the future 100 years in the future. It was planned with the hope that in times like these, by facing the future anew and drawing it, we can convey to children the hope that lies within, and make them feel excited and excited about the future once again.
The first in the “100 Years Later Picture Book” series, “100 Years Later,” is written by Maiko Seo, who also worked on “Happy Dining Table” and “Then, the Baton Has Been Passed.” As this is her first picture book, events will be held in various locations to commemorate its publication.
*Content introduction*
In class, we decided to draw the world 100 years from now.
The future 100 years from now will definitely be much more convenient than it is now.
The activities of robots, time machines, shoes that fly in the sky, etc.
As we were all envisioning our future, a child we didn’t know suddenly said something like this.
“What do you think about the future?”
So, what will the future look like 100 years from now?
Maiko Seo’s comment
100 years later. Even if there are no surprising changes, I think there are things here and there that will entertain us.
And I think this will be the same not only in the distant future, but also tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
This is my first time writing a picture book, but every time Takashi Kurihara adds pictures, I feel like the work is coming to life and I get excited. I hope you all enjoy it too.
Event information
To commemorate the publication of Maiko Seo’s first picture book, “100 Noodles Also Tomorrow,” we will be holding autograph sessions, workshops, talk events, panel exhibitions, and more with Maiko Seo in various locations!
