This exhibition shows how important it is to teach or to tell someone something.I think the children in this workshop may not have the mind to try to express or to tell something.

To take a photo in the first time could be confusing for the children, but what Mr.Hashiguchi and his staff told is to not to think with your head but to feel,and I think the children understood it.It is hard to express by words but it helps to discover what is important in life. 　(Male)

I thought the power of innocent children is amazing.I went to Thailand this summer and got touched by the children who lives happily in there own way without materials that is everywhere in Japan.I wish the children won't forget what they felt when they first hold the camera. 　(Female)

I happen to drop by JICA and saw these wonderful works.There were all impressive and individual.The scenery,objects and material in Vietnam looks odd and new to me.Thank you for this opportunity. 　(Male)

How pure these works are.It was cloudy and I wasn't feeling well,but by these cute boys and girls power gave me warm feeling. Please let me know when you are going to have another exhibition.I would love to feel this fresh air again. 　(Female)

Basically,I do not recognize Photograph as art.Although,as watching the children's work I began to think how interesting it is to trim off a moment  from the innumerable phase and space. 　(Male)

Thank you very much!
I used to think framed-out photographs can not be a piece of work. I learned a lot too by watching the Video of Mr.Hashiguchi's lecture to the children. 　(Male)

There were so many photos that grasped my heart.
It made me want to take an image with a camera.
Thank you for sharing those lovely pictures. 　(Female)

I went to visit Vietnam in September.
I enjoy taking pictures too,and I took a lot of pictures at Vietnam.
When I look around the children were so energetic,it made me move.

In Vietnam there are so many important things around that we Japanese have forgotten. I heard about this exhibition when I was organizing my pictures.The photos in this exhibition were all beautiful and moving.I can't believe that these were taken by teenagers.They have expressed there own part of life with there own view.I am glad that I have visited here to see all these wonderful works.Thank you very much. 　(Female)

I have seen the photos throughly.Surprisingly wonderful work.
And also,the portraits of friends were all well drawn.I can feel how they worked there best.Above all,what impressed me the most was how they cherish there family.

I wish the best to APOCC's　activities.
I am looking forward to see the next world. 　(Female)

I have visited Vietnam this summer on teachers overseas training.It was a 9 day trip with teachers from Chiba,Saitama and Yamanashi.To see there life and inspecting the international cooperation on spot I feel familiar to the connection  of Vietnam and japanese.

Every each photos from this exhibition brought me back to the hot(passionate?) atmosphere of Vietnam.And also,how they take care of there family and works and dreams they have brought me back memories.

I am going to practice what I have learned from my training trip from now.I would like to share what I have felt and  learned from this exhibition as well. 　(Male)

I brought three friends with me.I couldn't make it to the lecture,but I have enjoyed the exhibition a lot.We entered into this place from the windy outside.Very comfortable,as looking the photos I suddenly tripped into the Vietnam world.Thank you for letting me know about this exhibition. 　(Female)

I saw the pure part of photography through the children.Very beautiful...indeed.Thank you very much. 　(Female)

I felt the children's heart.

Work,eat and sleep.Those simple daily life should be the same in Japan but so different.It is a pity.Our education in Japan today might have something wrong.We should let our feet on earth,look down,look and start to walk.When I see Japanese from the outside I become anxious.Thank you very much. 　 (Male)

Every each of the photos took my breath away.

It might sound like I am a big eater but I couldn't move when I come in front of those delicious-looking vegetables,shrimps and squids.I couldn't move from the rice kettle photo too.I spend time with food and work and a beautiful world surrounded by light. 　(Female)

I read Mr.Hashigchi's work when I was a high school student.6years ago I went to Mr.Hashiguchi and Ms.Hoshino's lecture in Aoyama Book Center.I always wanted to visit Berlin since I read Mr.Hashiguchi's work.I talked with him that I went to Berlin after I started to work.What they spoke at the lecture cheered me since then.

I saw the Vietnam children's point of view from the works what I saw today.Every each work is "Raw things".I stopped by after work.I hope to see you again and I offer you your best wishes.Thank you so much. 　(Female)

I have never been to Vietnam( I went to Thailand though)
Those coquettish color and light gave me interesting atmosphere.
There angles, bold,Such heartwarming to see what they are interested in.
I felt the "passionate" country from the distinctive color of the river,
The way to stand face to face with people from other countries,even you do not understand there languages. This is a great project.I did enjoy it. 　(Female)

I have this thought from your website,I think it is very nice.
I don't mean nice or bad things,I feel Mr. Hashiguchi shares what he has in his hands with others,with help from others,I thought I can feel who is behind this exhibition.

I am also involved in development and art.I would like to reflect on Mr,Hashiguchi in some time or other. 　(Male)

Vietnam is beautiful.They all look clear.There "Most important things" were interesting too. 　 (Female)

I found this exhibition on my way to Yokohama triennale by chance.

Although  they were leaded by Mr.Hashiguchi,It is amazing how quickly  they learned  how to take great pictures in a short term. 　(Male)

The view from a child's point of view is very fresh.
And it is the life in a foreign country,that makes it even more wonderful. 　(Male)

I am a 25 years old male.The pictures Vietnamese boys and girls took inside there heart expresses there colorful life,friendly expression of people and the fine beauty of nature.It might be paradoxical, but it should be not only me who have envied the world they live (in both spiritual and material ways) and felt pessimistic about are own Japanese world we have.

After I saw the photos, I read about the motto of APOCC" Respect the Difference" and I have changed my awareness. If "Respect each other" could be a banalized motto.The difference is "to respect" is to encourage self-affirmation.We are confronted by the limit of material wealth,anxious about unknown anxiety and it is easy to lose the way how to love your life and presence.

It could be a hint to ask yourself what Mr.Hashiguchi have asked and told to the children.This unsatisfied world,but this world,in fact,was brought from the thoughts and efforts of the old and it contains the seeds of happiness.What I have learned from this exhibition is "If you catch the light and never give up to find the right angle,you can also take a beautiful pictures inside yourself,just like the Vietnamese children." 　(Male)

I have re-realized the power of ART.
I have felt the possibility of my job. 　(Female)
