The Japanese Foundation in Delhi hosted 'Japan on Canvas 2016' in October. The competition was open to participants from across the country and its purpose was to motivate students to explore Japan and thereafter, spread awareness about Japanese culture and its traditions amongst Indian students.
For the contest, students were required to create visuals of Japan and its culture on canvas. These were then sent by speed post to the Japan Foundation. 55 entries were sent from our School. There were two categories; Category 1 catered to children between 8-10 years wherein they had to submit art relating to Festivals of Japan. Category 2 was for children between 11-15 years and their subject was Japan-India Friendship.

The results were declared on the Foundations website on 15th October 2016. The contributions of two of our students Dhun Malhotra, IV C (Category 1) and Prabhsimran Kaur X B (Category 2) featured in the top 30 paintings!
Their paintings will now be exhibited at Tenshin Okakura Gallery, The Japan Foundation, between 17th and 25th November 2016.
