 Oshima has a multitude of folk tales and legends, it even gets a mention in the classic Japanese storybook, the "kojiki"(Recorded of Ancient Matters), whose ' Legend of tottori ' comes from Oshima's Tottori area. Based on the keyword "picture- books" , We have started on a project to promote the culture of the picture-books, aiming to make beautiful dreams for our people, the better that they should make our town beautiful. And with the opening of the "Oshima Museum of Picture Books " in Tottori in 1994,the project is starting to come to life. With the themes of "Feel","Make" and "Tell", We have great plans for many events in this center, Such as international exhibitions of original picture books, domestic hand-made picture book competitions, Work-shop and other events.
