kamisama 2011–2020
2022 / Workshop
[Overview]
This workshop looks back on the ten years from 2011 to 2020, the second decade of the 21st century in Japan.
It starts with the Great East Japan Earthquake and ends with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Participants reflect on this period by writing short and simple stories.
In Japan, the years from 2011 to 2020 began with a major disaster and ended with the pandemic. During this time, there was no major economic growth, and the so-called “Lost 20 Years” became the “Lost 30 Years.” It feels painful to hear the time I lived in described as “lost.” Even so, I believe this decade must have had some kind of meaning. This belief led me to create this workshop.
