A community art project in which 10,000 miniature tenmasen boats, each about 30 cm long and modeled after a wooden Japanese-style boat, are floated on the Nihonbashi River.
The goal is set at Nihonbashi Bridge, and the miniature boats start from upstream all at once. In addition to eonjoying the view of floating boats, you can entry the time trial by one boat for every 1,000 yen donated. The establishment of viewing locations in the surrounding area will enliven the community, while live-streaming will communicate the charm and value of the Nihonbashi River to people all over the world. A program will be created for each process, including flagging, transporting, and cleaning for reuse of the miniature Tenma boats, and participation will be encouraged.
A portion of the registration fee will be used for river purification, waterside revitalization, cultural promotion, and the production of traditional tenmasen, in addition to the presentation of special commemorative gifts according to the order of arrival. The miniature boats are made from thinned cedar wood, which will be collected, cleaned, and reused after the event.
By transcending genres such as art, community development, and environmental revitalization, and through collaboration among artists, students, citizens, and businesses, we will create a cross-sectional network of new and old waterfront users in the city. We aim to increase the initiative and collaboration of citizens and establish this as a sustainable project.
