The 97thTokyo City UniversitySetagaya Festival Organizing Committee

Thank you very much for visiting the 97th Tokyo City University Setagaya Festival. All of us on the organizing committee have been looking forward to today, when we can welcome you to the Setagaya Campus.

This year's theme is "Karakuri" (mechanical ingenuity). We wanted to express the beauty and harmony of diverse personalities fitting together with precision to set something large in motion.

We are grateful that the number of participating groups and food stalls has grown this year. To let you enjoy the entire Setagaya Campus as a stage, we have decorated every corner of it. From lively stages to distinctive food stalls, each project links up across the campus like the intricate mechanism of a "karakuri" and resonates pleasantly together. Please feel for yourself the many creative projects that students have prepared with such passion for this day.

We would also like to take this opportunity to express our deepest thanks to the local residents for their kind understanding, to our corporate sponsors for their generous support, and to everyone at the university who made this festival possible.

May today, when every wish sets out in motion like a "karakuri", be an unforgettable day full of surprise and delight for you. Please enjoy the 97th Tokyo City University Setagaya Festival to the very end.
