Okinawa Social Welfare Council is sponsoring the event that is designed to give a chance to senior citizens over 60 years of age to display their works of art, and encourage them to have a more healthy and lively lifestyle.

On display will be artworks in six categories; Japanese-style painting, oil painting, sculpture, craft, calligraphy and photography. None of the participants is professional.
