We exhibited the match flags we made at KOBO MARU in Fukuoka last October and we also held workshops for three days.

We made match flags for the Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament, Rio 2016, Japan vs Vietnam. People who joined the workshop cut red and yellow cloths cheering for Vietnam and Japanese women’s football teams. We had all different kinds of participants and volunteer staffs as well.

It was a very unique festival and was a good experience for Asia Daihyo.
Thank you for all the participants, volunteers and staffs.
