The government has selected a design based on Japanese traditional origami as the logo mark for the G7 Hiroshima Summit, which will be held in May next year, from among submissions from all over the country.
The G7 Hiroshima Summit logo mark was created by Keiichi Kusano (67), a designer from Nagasaki City.
The seven colors of traditional Japanese origami are bundled with a clip in the shape of the G7 letter "G", and each has its own characteristics, imagining the unity and unity of the seven countries for world peace. .
The logo mark was narrowed down to five works from the 854 works that had been applied from all over the country by September this year after the examination by the government's selection committee, and Prime Minister Kishida decided on Mr. Kusano's work in the final selection. .
At the award ceremony held at the Prime Minister's official residence on the 21st, Prime Minister Kishida said, "We will communicate the significance of the G7 Summit to be held in Hiroshima both domestically and internationally, along with the message contained in the logo mark, to ensure its success. I would like to work with you," he said.
Then, Mr. Kusano and other creators of the five finalist works were handed certificates of commendation and a commemorative photo was taken.
After the award ceremony, Mr. Kusano said, "I was surprised because I didn't think I would be hired. I would be honored if you could promote it more and more and use it to improve the image of Japan and the G7."
