Got hooked on crane machines at game arcades. Everyone must have dreamt about trying it with a real crane car.

Excellent drawing ability! Unique setting. Many of the artworks were arranged into a crane game this time, but this one was outstanding! This is truly a work of a coloring meister!

Mine resources are used in everyday things around us. A “load haul dump” that brings joy to us safely from pitch-dark, dangerous underground. When future children grow up, what will they create with Komatsu’s heavy machineries? I hope for a happy world.

A coloring child, a working ant, a bucket-full of flowers, and an expanding universe. A work of art that makes onlookers feel as if they are in a pleasant dream and want to keep looking at it. Look closely and notice how the logo consists of coloring pencils. Cool!

I expressed the power of this heavy machinery. I’ve drawn in the jokamachi I grew up in, stone walls that support the castle, which remains to be the symbol of the town, and a hawk I saw at the castle.

The yellow forwarder goes great with the jokamachi! Everything is drawn and colored with a delicate touch, from the stone walls, the streetscape, the pine tree, to the expression of the hawk. An art with a Japanese spirit.

I imagined a tractor walking through life! The background represents its life and the sun expresses how lively and bright it is. I tried to use soft shades of colors.

An art work with very beautiful soft colors, created by taking advantage of watercolor paints. The large sun is quite striking.

I imagined a future car that can be used underwater. I drew many cliones because I love them.

A load haul dump in the undersea world. Expressions of the fish are very adorable. Cliones lined up at the bottom are especially cute!

Animals

Many animals came to gather around a load haul dump. A dynamic artwork with a unique composition. The light blue background leaves a strong impression.
