Tengu World Trip!

As part of our Tengu Art Project, we are sending a couple of little tengu dolls around the world on different routes. They will stay in each location for up to two weeks before travelling on and eventually returning to Japan to be displayed in galleries and schools with a map and photos of their travels.

They are  travelling these zig-zag routes:

TENGU 1:  England, Italy, Austria, Spain, Ireland, the USA, and back to Japan. 

Check his progress HERE!   

TENGU 2: USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia,  the Netherlands, the USA, and back to Japan.

Why a Tengu World Trip?

In our village of Osugi there is a statue of a Tengu, which inspired Osugi Musical Theatre to do a musical about him. To tie in with our musical and costume design contest this year, we are sending our little ambassadors around the globe to spread the fun about a corner of Japanese culture. Upon the tengus' return, we can introduce the folks of Komatsu to the places they have visited...
