(C) Harebare Shashin DMM.com LLC (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Chairman and CEO Keiji Kameyama, https://dmm-corp.com/ As part of its regional revitalization project (DMM Regional Revitalization), DMM is holding a flower event called “Infiorata, a festival of flowers connected by flowers,” which was commissioned by Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture for its 2020 Flower Art Festival Planning and Management Operations. We will let you know. ■Background of the initiative DMM entered the regional revitalization business as “DMM Regional Revitalization” in 2019 and has been involved in solving various regional issues. We have concluded an agreement with Fujieda City regarding the “Regional Revitalization Entrepreneur System” promoted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications since 2025, and are working to improve the value of the old city area and parks and promote the Fujieda Flower Corridor Project. . In 2021, we launched “Machi Gacha in Fujieda,” an initiative to convey the charms of Fujieda City to many people both inside and outside the city by using key chains featuring gourmet food and sightseeing spots in the city. This time, as a commemorative project to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the city’s incorporation and 100th anniversary as a soccer town, we aim to further revitalize the city and communicate its appeal by holding a citizen-participatory event with a flower motif. ■Promoting “Fujieda, the town of flowers.” Together with the citizens, we will create a carpet of flowers that will lead to the future. Mr. Yasuhiko Fujikawa (ephemeral artist/event producer/flower painter), representative director of the Flower Painting Culture Association (General Incorporated Association), and DMM collaborated on a flower art festival in Fujieda City, the city of flowers. Infiorata* will be held at the event plaza at the south exit of JR Fujieda Station, and fresh flowers will be laid out in vivid colors. Infiorata is based on citizen participation. We will hold an event where you can feel the fun and sense of accomplishment of creating a piece of work. The theme of this event, which commemorates the city’s 70th anniversary and 100th anniversary as a soccer town, is “Connecting Mauve Stories: A Kickoff to the Future.” We will create original flower paintings that express the power that comes from people holding hands and working together. The flower paintings we create are designed to resemble a pentagonal soccer ball with connected hands, and are full of energy and give a sense of the limitless future. *What is Infiorata It is an event that has continued for over 400 years in countries around the world, mainly in Italy and Spain, and Yasuhiko Fujikawa is the leading figure in Japan. This is a participatory event where everyone creates large flower paintings using natural materials such as flower petals and plants, using the road as a canvas.
