The Mitsubishi Asian Children’s Enikki Festa invites children in Asia to createillustrated diaries (Enikki) that portray daily events and thoughts in the formof a picture and a short essay. The goal of the Festa is to use Enikki as avery effective means to promote cross-cultural understanding of each other’slives and cultures and, eventually, to work for the promotion of culturalexchange among children of Asia.
