A series of illustrations for the world heritage, Shiretoko, Hokkaido.

Before I drew, I could attend the study trip there.

It was the summer of 2010, and my first time to visit there. I enjoyed the very interesting and golden opportunity.

Title: Picture Story "MONGOOSE STORY"

Volume: 8 pages

Size: A0

Date: 2010.11

I did the illustration of this picture story.

During the international conference, COP10, 

This picture story was played twice and 

after that, became the teaching material.

The story is about the alien specie, Mongoose, which

a professor brought on purpose to Okinawa island to 

exterminate the poisonous snake, Habu.

Mongoose has been spread out so rapidly, 

all over the island.

Since this animal was active during the day and 

Habu was so at night, they hardly met each other.

So the target of Mongoose became to be Yanbarukuina, 

a protected animal in the region.

These details were not discovered until much later.

Now people have to get rid of Mongoose to save 

yanbarukuina. The miserable action of human-being 

is the main theme of this story.
