Shimonoba Elementary 40th Anniversary
W
ith guidance from Rocco Satoshi, the Father of Japanese Street Art, Shimonoba Elementary School students painted their school with beautiful murals featuring San Diego’s buildings and zoo along with the mission, “Let’s connect across the sea” in celebration of their 40th Anniversary.
We share this mission with the Shimonoba students and are happy to see our bond with Yokohama become even stronger.
Please check out this article from Rocco’s 2018 artist reception with SDYSCS (https://www.sandiegoyokohamasistercity.org/rocco-satoshi…/) as well as this one from his 2019 exhibition at the Japanese Friendship Garden (https://www.niwa.org/exhibits-list/rocco) to learn more about his work in San Diego, Yokohama, and Tijuana.
