Sumida Ward has attracted attention as a quick collective vaccination of Corona vaccination.Behind the success was the spirit of doing whatever you could for the residents, and the cohesion of the ward office and the residents of the ward.The mentality of such a downtown area is not limited to community medicine.In the "Regional Art Project", which inherits the DNA of Katsushika Hokusai related to the ward, it can boldly play novel projects.
The only "Regional Power Support Department" in the 23 wards supports the activities of the ward that makes full use of such excellent regional strength, imagination, and action.This time, Mr. Yoshimasa Sekiguchi, the director of the regional power support department, is Yoshimitsu Tamaki, who is also a director of the Meta Tourism Promotion Agency, a former editor -in -chief of Walker.heard.
This Challenger / Sumida Ward Regional Power Support Director Yoshimasa Sekiguchi
What is the only existence in the 23 wards?
――The community support department led by Mr. Sekiguchi is an unfamiliar department.
Sekiguchi "Originally, the Promotion Department of the Democraticity of Democraticity, before that, it was the name of the regional promotion department. Toru Yamamoto, the current mayor, said," Sumida Ward is a highly regional ward, so measures are used.I want to put it in one of the pillars of
――How did you create the Regional Power Support Department?
Sekiguchi "In 2015, we held a national competition for food education summit (the 10th food education promotion national tournament) in Sumida Ward, but at that time, we gathered the power of various people, such as local people and local companies.I was able to succeed. The mayor who saw it began because the power of local residents felt that Sumida Ward was different. "
――The departments related to the promotion of regional activities are in other wards and local governments, but it was such a thought that “regional power support” was raised.What is the job content of the support department?
Sekiguchi "In fact, a wide range of town councils, residents' associations, NPOs, and local activities promotion sections for organizations that are engaged in ward's activities, Hokusai Museum of Art, Triphony Hall, Art Project, Cultural Arts Promotion Division such as cultural organizations, and international exchange,There are four sections: Sports Facilities, Sports Promotion Division for Supporting Sports Organization, and Olympic Paralympic Room. "
――It is quite crossed and special, and has a wide range of cover
Sekiguchi "Sports related was under the jurisdiction of the Board of Education, but it was also integrated here. The Olympics are from the general affairs department.
――Did it worked well now by making the regional power support department, which took care of the mayor's thoughts of combining local power?
Sekiguchi: "I wonder if it is going to be organized in the policy of making use of regional resources in various things. For example, it is not a story that can be taken in charge, for example, the town council and the cultural arts field are involved.It will also be involved in the field of international exchange and multicultural symbiosis. I think that the horizontal skewers have worked well. "
――It says that the mentality of the Sumida ward is well matched with the Regional Power Support Department.
Sekiguchi: "Yes. Originally, there are strong town councils and residents' associations in downtown, and they have high citizens. Because they have pride and common culture that they are making towns. Because their town is a bit weak to disasters, the town is the town.Let's protect it. Because it is an area where such movements have been around for a long time, do you say regional power, I think there is a social capital here. "
The Sumida Ward Regional Power Support Department Regional Activity Promotion Division Manabi is supporting the Sumida Dream Support Project by the Sumida Ward Youth Development Committee Liaison Council.We are looking for dreams that children want to fulfill and those who support that dream!

What are the regional strength "Sumida Ward Model" and "Regional Complete Medical Model" that supported the successful vaccination?
――In the vaccination of Corona, the response of Sumida Ward was overwhelmingly fast and highly evaluated.
Sekiguchi "The reason why the inoculation was fast only in Sumida Ward was also based on the high regional power. The town council, medical associations, pharmacist associations, town hospitals, Sumito Hospital, and community medical care supported by it.The vaccination has progressed thanks to everyone's gathering power. We are proud of this high regional power, and the mayor is raising the "regional power in Japan". Aiming for the best in Japan.The Power Support Department is a place to be active. "
――The unity of local medical professionals is also amazing
Sekiguchi "The current power of Mr. Nishizuka, the director of Sumida Ward Health Center. The work of many public health centers was tight at the time of the first wave. It was hard because various people asked me to be hospitalized.Although it was a case under the jurisdiction of the public health centers in other wards, there was a wrestler of sumo wrestling who could not be hospitalized and died at a young age. "
―― I was very sorry that I died in my 20s
Sekiguchi: "Nishizuka Health Director, who has many sumo wrestling rooms, should not cause such cases in the main district, to do anything in the ward without leaving it to the country or the capital to secure a PCR and secure a bed in the hospital.I think it was the biggest to bet on your own life. In order to support such director as a whole, we provide manpower and vaccinations under the leadership of the mayor, and local people.I think that the medical associations, hospitals, and everyone supported me, and I think that the system of vaccination and regional complete medical care has been established. "
――While the vaccination rate did not grow at first, Sumida Ward was standing out.
Sekiguchi "I think it should have been possible in any ward, but the first is that we set up a group vaccination venue and divided individual vaccination venues. And we announced it early and planned at the same time.I also submitted it. If the plan is out first, the country will have to supply vaccines. So the country will do it as planned and come out more and more. "
――It's a vaccine, but when I was thinking about where to distribute it.As a result, the place where the plan was submitted was late.
Sekiguchi "Sumida Ward was announced early and sending vaccination tickets first."
――I made the plunge.The idea of shipping the vaccination ticket and setting up the venue to the election management committee was also excellent.
Sekiguchi "Even when the country suddenly built a collective vaccination venue such as the Self -Defense Forces, it would not be possible to go without a vaccination ticket. Only some other local residents, which were sending a vaccination ticket early, could go."
――This as a result of the trust of the ward office and the ward office and the support of the region
Sekiguchi: "I think so. At first there are various troubles, but in order to proceed with the priority of the ward, the idea is to do what you can do. On the other hand, a complaint window like a call center is created.So, let's proceed with this policy. "
――Is you can't see the direction at the beginning, and can you proceed with vaccination?Even when the inoculation ticket was distributed, it was easy to accept because the distance between the residents and the government was short.
Sekiguchi "Actually, I hired in Setagaya Ward, and then I moved to Sumida Ward by section exchange, but the big difference is close to the residents.It wasn't that kind of feeling in Setagaya Ward.We accept what we ask is well. "
――It's an area where you struggled many times due to catastrophe, such as flood damage and wartime air raids.
Sekiguchi: "That's right. So there were many parts that residents rely on the government, and the spirit of community welfare has been around for a long time, and there are social welfare corporations that have been going on for more than 100 years.Ta. It is the work of mothers, mothers and child health, health, and life support.
Sumida Ward is an area where social activist Toyohiko Kagawa came from Kobe and promoted community welfare.There is a sense of trust, and there is a sense that if something happens, we have to help.I think the distance between the government is close to the government. "
――Please tell us about the “Sumida Ward Model” and “Regional Completed Medical Model”.
Sekiguchi "There are several models of Sumida Ward, but the first information was issued early, and the vaccination venue was launched as soon as possible. There was no severe patient in Sumida Ward in the fifth wave.I think there is a core hospital, and the surrounding hospitals that support them, and the town doctors have a system to cooperate and cooperate together.
As for the "regional complete medical model", for example, ink Higashi Hospital has a bed for severely ill patients, but inpatients are not much more severe.If you recover, you can move to another facility, but the problem is that there is probably no backup even if you move elsewhere.So in the case of Sumida Ward, we built a backup system.Severe patients, moderate patients, mild patients, each of the beds.If severe illness becomes moderate, you will be transferred to a moderate disease bed and you will be able to empty severe sick beds.If you have a moderate person, move to a mild illness bed and go home when you get better.
Even if you return home, the health center is backed up, and the town doctor and pharmacist are contacting each other to deliver medicine and meals.Regional medicine is moving with the consciousness that the whole Corona does not give severe people from Sumida Ward. "
――It means that it was possible because of the high regional power.
The signing of the inhabitants supported the continuation of boxing Olympic competitions
The huge mural "Peace of Peace" drawn with 100,000 fold cranes and Mr. Sekiguchi.This will be exhibited on the first floor of the ward office until around February 4th.The design is changed every year, and a new design is shown around March 10, when the Tokyo air raid was held.
――The background that boxing rose at the Olympics was also the regional power of Sumida Ward.
Sekiguchi "Actually, there is a problem on the International Boxing Association (AIBA) side, and boxing is about to be excluded from the Olympic competition. Since the boxing venue is the Kokugikan in Sumida Ward, we have a tag with the Japan Boxing Federation.He conducted a signature activity that wishes to survive the competition, and delivered the signature to the IOC chairman Bach. At the conference, he said that he received such a signature even if he did not give his name. As a result, boxing is.It was hired, and the AIBA was removed and the Organizing Committee made a task force and implemented it. "
――The more than 20,000 signatures collected by the unity of All Sumida have moved the heart of Chairman Bach.
Sekiguchi "This will deepen the bond between Sumida Ward and the Japan Boxing Federation, and to spread boxing using" Tomorrow's Joe ". Boxing has a strong martial arts = dangerous image, and it spreads to children.There is a difficult place. So I made a virtual boxing game that plays with VR goggles and experienced it at the event. The opponent is a gym professional boxer in the ward.Sumida Ward was able to imagine "boxing town". "
――The medal in the Olympic boxing has been acquired since Ryota Murata of the 2012 London Games
Mr. Seina Irie, who won the gold medal, also said, "There is a lot of cooperation of everyone in Sumida Ward, and my gold medal with it."I was very pleased if I gave a frog panel from Hokusai Manga to Irie of Kaelmania.Irie was really deep in the frog, and the frog was described as a tonosama frog, and was described as "the expression of muscles is truly Hokusai" (laughs).This time, the bronze medal of Ryoaki Tanaka and Namiki Tsukiumi, led by Irie's gold medal.It was a great achievement. "
Hokusai's DNA to the next generation."Sumida River Morimori Yumemu Dream (Sumiyume)" Art Project
"Sumida River Morimori Morinomi Dream" (hereinafter referred to as Sumi Yume) is an art project that began with the opening of the Sumida Hokusai Museum of Art in November 2016.The listener, Tamaki, utilizes the "Sumida River Disco With Mirror Ball Car" of "Sumidagawa Disco With Mirror Ball Car", which was developed as a "Olympic and Paralympic Basic Policy Promotion Survey" certified by the Cabinet Secretariat, and the 260th anniversary of Hokusai's birth.He has been in charge of projects in collaboration with the Sumida Ward Regional Power Support Department, such as holding a remote trip around Hokusai's landslide.
――The local art is now popular, but Sumida Ward has continued it from a really early period, and we are taking a very drastic art measure.It was a decisive decision to build the "Sumida Hokusai Museum of Art", and in a cultural policy of art that makes use of the property related to the land?
Sekiguchi: "That's why Hokusai is a worldwide person. Life in the United States" Life "in 1998," Who is the most important person in the past 1000 years? "When we announced 100 people, Hokusai was the only Japanese selection. The same is true in Europe, and "Sumida" is not well known, but the reaction changes the moment we say Hokusai. When we go to Paris., I got that impression.
The worldwide artist's content is in Sumida Ward.Hokusai moved here 93 times and spent almost his life in the ward is a major property, and here is the place where you can talk about Hokusai.After that, there is only Hokusai -kan in Obuse -cho, Nagano Prefecture, where I was drawing a brush drawing in my later years. "
At the Sumida Hokusai Museum of Art "200 Years of Da Dharma Production ☆ Hokusai -Running Edo and Nagoya-" (2017), an up -and -coming painter Akira Yamaguchi drew a large dalma live on a 9x13.5 -meter cotton cloth.The performance of Hokusai's 120 -tatami -sized large darms held in Nagoya in Culture 14 (1817) is wonderfully reproduced!
Sekiguchi "Sumida Ward is the only municipality that can transmit the great content of Hokusai to the world, so we will verify it and treat it carefully and ask people around the world to visit.I guess the building has a big meaning.
In addition to built a museum, we will tell you Hokusai's DNA next.If you inherit it as a DNA in this area, such as Hokusai's figures and what if you live in a modern era, I think that various interesting art will be born here.Hokusai is famous for its paintings of Mt. Fuji, but he also draws many pictures of the Sumida River.There are also Sumida River, Mukojima, Kabuki and Noh's "Sumida River", Umewaka's legendary Umewakazuka. "
―― Noh has also become a drama of Kankuro Miyafuji.
Sekiguchi: "In this area where many old things drawn by Hokusai, we have the theme of the Sumida River, which has a culture that flourished around the river, and the Museum of Art.It means that it started. I think it works well. "
――Is it started in 2016 for 5 years?
Sekiguchi: "Originally, I started with an art project for the Olympics, so I decided to re -evaluate it, but the parliamentary evaluation was high and it was decided to continue next year!
This is because some people have been there for five years, and some young people have gathered in Sumida Ward, and some people have decided to do an art project here.The good thing about "Sumiyume" is that there are not many borders.If the people in Taito -ku next door want to do it in this basin, they will be adopted, and they will come from Koto Ward, which is a book, river and town project.Tamaki's Meta Tourism Promotion Organization is also paying attention.
"Sumida Mukojima EXPO" was held this October, but such a unique project gathers in the "Sumiyume".This is very interesting because it has become such a magnetic field.
In addition, Tokyo University of the Arts has a human resource development project that conducts courses in the form of "Around Sumida River" in cooperation with Sumida, Taito, and Adachi, and has been selected as the best 13 in "TOKYO TOKYO FESTIVAL".There is a raging waves.It seems that various people are gathering now, with the center of the Sumida River basin and the Sumida River basin.
--very interesting."Sumiyume" means that it was extended because it was highly evaluated.
The "fastener ship" that opens the surface of the Sumida River opens up the possibility of regional art
"Fastener ship" of "Sumida River Morimori Zanno Dream".The "appearance" art that the shape of the waves after the ship passes seems to open the zipper.Originally performed at the Setouchi International Art Festival in 2010.
――The interesting thing about “Sumi Yume” is Yasuhiro Suzuki's “Fastener's Ship”.Since the Setouchi International Art Festival, it was held in some places such as Lake Hamana, but it was not a river.The river has a high hurdle, isn't it?
Sekiguchi "That's right. Rivers are strictly restricted."
――In Tokyo, the regulations on rivers and waterside are really severe.The Sumida River not only gets the permission of the Gulf Police, but also does not interfere with water buses, cruise ships, and houseboats.What is the idea of doing something that surprises you in a cancer regulation?
Sekiguchi "Even though there are regulations, there will be a way to realize various things you want to do."
--Amazing
Sekiguchi: "Because the government office is also the government office, but not all the government offices do not accept it. While there are regulations, there are departments that use it. Even in the jurisdiction of the river.If you look for what you can do. There is always a part that can be relaxed. Such a project may be refused if a private person goes directly, and instead listened to some people who went to the ward office.I will give you ""
――Normally, it is difficult for government officials to go there.However, in the case of Sumida Ward, Mr. Sekiguchi, the people on the site, and the ward would take the initiative in solving issues.You're doing your best
Sekiguchi: "But I can't do it with the power of the ward alone, and I can't do this if I don't do it together while borrowing private power like KADOKAWA. So it's important to collaborate."
――It's really amazing that the water disco of a mirror ball car cared by global artists Nishino was realized.
"Sumida River Disco With Mirror Ball Car" in which a water disco appears in the Sumida River (2018)
――The goodness of art is to open a completely different world by removing the common sense and looking different from the world, in the world, in the world, and in Sumida Ward.I think that the picture of Hokusai is the same, but if you can see Sumida Ward, which is different from the consciousness that Sumida Ward in your head is like this, you will be there.The human brain and mind should be very activated.Do you feel that that kind of thing is carrying very well?
Sekiguchi: "That's right. I wonder if the effect has gradually started. However, some people have allergies for such things. Some people say that there is no need to invest in taxes."
―― The budget budget such as mirror ball cars is written as “Nazo's state -owned event, 30 million yen flows on the Sumida River”.Isn't it difficult to jump into it because the media can be beaten?
Sekiguchi: Of course, I know that, because the reality is that kind of thing. That's why I have to support it. I did the next year the next year, and I will do it this year, but now Yasuhiro Suzuki is Yasuhiro Suzuki.I'm in the first grade of junior high school art textbooks.
The fact that these things are listed in textbooks means that the world is changing.After all it is important to keep doing it. "
――The tears come out when you see the fastener's ship running.The zipper opens the Sumida River.It's such an imagination
Sekiguchi: "The point is what kind of idea the artist is looking at. This view was featured in the textbook, so this year Yasuhiro Suzuki came and conducted a special class on art at Taitawa Junior High School.I got it. The children take a picture and announce that "this looks like Mickey Mouse."
――The fastener opens, your imagination spreads.The idea of “viewing” is a wonderful experience for children.
From Hokusai to contemporary art ...Sumida Ward Meta Tourism Current, Past, Future
――In Sumida Ward, which has multiple -layered attractive layers, from Hokusai, Kabuki / Noh, and modern art, the impression of participating in the Sumida Meta Tourism Festival, which started this year.
Sekiguchi "The theme of meta sightseeing is interesting and I am looking forward to doing something that I couldn't do so far. We are doing various activities and has a history.It's not really possible to put it into one. "
Sekiguchi "If you look at the old map of the Edo period, the coastline and terrain are different from the present. Tokyo will be developed toward the sea, and the stratum will rise.The place where things come out and when you dig further, the water comes up. There is such a past deposit, which is connected now.
Probably, meta sightseeing is a multi -layered layer of such layers, such as material and physical layers, events that are being done there, history and culture, and visualize it, and make it 3D."
Sekiguchi "When Yasuhiro Suzuki of" Fastener's Ship "" walks backwards on the snowy road at his workshop, the footprints turned forward and walked toward the future.I explained the "Footprints of the Future" that I could see. There was a present that took a picture, and the past before taking a picture has led to the future.
Akira Yoshino, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemical Prize, also heard the lyrics of Machiko Watanabe's blockbuster song "Hesetto", "Current, Past, Future ~ ♪", and "Why is it in the past, present, future?"I realized that the past and the future were actually connected.There was a story about the research on lithium batteries that it led to the Nobel Prize, but I think that it is in cultural art that you can see the past and see the future.
What kind of future will you see if you delve into the past and traditional culture of Sumida Ward by Meta sightseeing?We're looking forward to it too. "
It seems that the era in Sumida Ward seeking only the highlights and humanity of the good old days had ended.In the Corona evil, the Sumida Ward Model and the "Regional Completion Medical Model" overcome the hardships with a novel and speedy response, and the Sumida River, which loved Hokusai, was born an avant -garde culture.But it is definitely based on the regional power that has long been breathing in this area.
Just as the "fastener ship" opened on the River of the Sumida River opened the new possibilities of regional art, the Footprints of the future are firmly carved with the unity and imagination cultivated by the Sumida Ward and the Regional Power Support Department.I will continue.

It was a fun interview! "
