1. Effect 
It is an age, such we must look out to the world to value the preciousness of the only place Annaka. To observe the preciousness of individuals, we must respect the history and culture of the people in the world. Annaka City has formed the 'Committee for establishing a use for the multi-purpose space around Annaka-Haruna Station.' by inviting the local citizens to consider the present and future for each by looking back on our familiar environments.

 After a long period of meeting and discussion, the idea of " Environment Art Forum in Annaka " was born.Surrounded not only by abundant nature and a wonderful view of mountains, Annaka-Haruna is also located in a convenient location for traffic by the bullet train (shin-kann-sen) in relation among the local areas and urban centers. This is a unique place where also has the characteristic of urbanism.Annaka, where the Forum is based is steeped in history, cultural assets, natural resources, festivals with the coloring of the seasons, traditional industries and hot springs that are renown throughout the region. 

The local silk industry in particular has contributed greatly to the development of Japanese modern industry. Assets such as these are a great source of pride for local citizens. Keeping in mind these traditions, the local nature, and the techniques and culture of the past, it is our goal to create Annaka which we are proud to hand to future generations. We are willing to create, restore and conserve the natural environment that is so close to our culture. Another thing that we realize to be the main important activity is the exchanging between the local citizen's and people whom will come here in the future, by working together. 

Therefore, we call this a forum, based on the fact that it is a concept that was created by local citizens for local citizens. Certainly, we had the arguments between the contradiction of the nature beauty and economic activities, or interests of the participants. Originally the meaning for the participation of the local citizens is to hand over the beautiful environment to the next generation. We think that this could be possible by facing the future of ourselves. 

These activities should be the real meaning of 'art'. That is to say, 'art' is connected by 'environment' and 'forum', and to say more we believe that it is an activity which the citizens seek for their possibilities and joy among their every day life.Activities developed at Environment Art Forum in Annaka, are planned and organized according to citizens' opinions. It is a place where impressive greetings, and steady realization should become the joy of life. These activities should become the gender and original creation of the citizen culture and daily environment, which utilize the resources of Annaka. We also look forward for these activities to become the information sender to the world.
