On December 22nd (Sun), Nagahama Seminar participated in the 8th University of Nagasaki Sasebo Campus Joint Seminar Report Meeting. 18 teams from 10 seminars participated, and it was a large-scale briefing with more than 100 people. Each team has a 25-minute report and a 10-minute question, and it is a relatively long report, so it is necessary to devise ways to keep the audience tired. Nagahama Seminar entitled "History of the Relationship between Humans and Dogs-Focusing on Liminality-" and reported on the comparison between Japanese and English and changes in the way dogs should be in society. There were scenes where questions and questions were held beyond the scheduled time, and it was a lively briefing. As a result of the peer review, Nagahama Seminar received the highest report award with the highest score, and was awarded by Tatsuyuki Tsuna, Dean of Regional Creation at the University of Nagasaki.

　On the following day, on the 23rd (Monday), we strolled around Mikawauchi (Nagasaki Prefecture), Arita Town (Saga Prefecture), and Hasami Town (Nagasaki Prefecture) because Nishikyushu is a porcelain production area. At the Utsuwa History Museum in Mikawa, in addition to the history of Mikawa, he taught me how to manufacture porcelain and the characteristics of the three regions. In Arida, we visited China on the Park and had a painting experience. After that, we visited several Hasami ware dealers, which are popular among young people in recent years for Internet sales, etc., and actually observed what kind of ideas were being made. The students seemed to realize that there was a big difference in how the products were presented.

　It was a very fulfilling off-campus training. I would like to thank everyone at Nagasaki Prefectural University and everyone in each region. Also, in preparing this research report, we received many suggestions from tours and questions at the Kitakyushu Animal Protection Center. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you again.
