Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 43 Japan Art Education Association

Konoe Suzuka took out his mobile phone and made a call, and then a high-end gray car pulled out from the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum to pick him up.

This made Higashino Division somewhat sigh.

This product is definitely a real rich woman.

There is even a special car to pick you up when you go out simply.

But forget it, Higashino still has business to do.

He took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, then walked towards the station.

His destination was not Adachi District, but Chiyoda District.

After a while of changing cars and walking, Higashinoji stopped in front of a towering building.

According to the information obtained from asking Okano Ryoko, Higashino entered the building and went straight to the sixth floor.

The elevator stopped quickly, Higashinosi walked out of the elevator slowly, and looked up at the same time.

On the white wall not far from his side, there are three letters composed of three primary colors—AES.

The overall spelling of these three English letters means Art Education Society of Japan (Japan Art Education Association).

That's right.

As the name suggests, it is mainly an art association established in conjunction with student art education.

There are more than [-] active members of the Japan Art Education Association, which is considered a relatively large-scale art association in Tokyo.

The most important thing is that the recent Tokyo Youth Painting Award is a competition held by the Japan Educational Art Association.

In other words, no matter whether it is an adult group or a student group, the competition works will be sent here, and then judged by several well-known painters in the industry.

The selection award is a gold reward, 50 yen and a reward certificate.Two silver prizes, 30 yen and a reward certificate.Four Bronze Prizes, 20 yen and a reward certificate and one special prize, 20 yen, without a certificate.

Many people may think that the bonus given by the Japan Educational Art Association is too small, not even enough to plug the teeth.

After all, it takes a lot of energy and material resources just to create a piece of work.

However, for traditional painters, participating in this kind of exhibition is not only to obtain the meager bonus, but more importantly, to gain fame.

A gold award honor is worth much more than 50 yen or even 100 million yen!

Think about it, as a student of the art department, you have obtained the award certificate of the Japan Art Education Association, and when you enter the society, there will be an additional honor of the winner of the "Tokyo Youth Painting Bounty Award" on your resume, which will help you improve worth and attract investment from Party A.

A qualified professional painter will not miss any chance to prove himself.

"Hello." Dong Yesi smiled and greeted the receptionist in front of him.

"Hello, sir, what can I do for you?"

The receptionist looked up professionally and asked politely.

"I would like to ask, can a 16-year-old creator contribute to the adult group of the Tokyo Youth Painting Award?"

Higashino Division simply stated his purpose.

Yes, this time Higashino came to the Japan Art Education Association to ask if he could contribute to the adult group of the Tokyo Youth Painting Award.

Because Higashino feels that the gold prize for the student group alone is not enough in front of Ryuichi Yoshimine. If the gold prize for the adult group is added, it is estimated that Higashino Chihaya can go to school normally.

"Ah, you want to ask about the 16-year-old being able to contribute to the adult group of the Tokyo Youth Painting Award, right?"

The receptionist was not surprised by Higashinosi's words, she just looked at Higashinoji one more time to confirm.

She has been a receptionist here for five or six years, and she is already used to asking Higashinoji this question.Basically every year, there will be a few underage high school students who ask themselves the same thing, but in the end, these students basically take advantage of the excitement and return with disappointment.

After all, it was an adult group.

Not only some amateur painting enthusiasts, but also some students from the five major art academies in Tokyo contributed. It is not an exaggeration to say that the competition is so fierce that it can beat the high school student group.

After all, there is no shortage of talented people in this world, especially in the arts.

"Yes, are there any specific requirements for submission?"

Dong Yesi responded.

"Tokyo Youth Painting Award is an art competition held to promote art education. There is no age requirement. No matter whether it is an adult group or a student group, as long as your level is sufficient, sir, you can submit your work anywhere."

The receptionist quickly gave Higashino an answer according to the formulaic dialogue-you can submit articles to the adult group, and there is no age limit.

After saying this, the reception lady lowered her head and continued to deal with the affairs at hand.

"I see. In addition, I also want to ask, can I participate in the competition of the adult group and the student group at the same time?"

Tonoji asked again.

This made the reception lady a little unexpected.

She glanced at Dong Yesi inexplicably, only thinking that the other party was making fun of herself.

It's not that I look down on Dong Yesi.

It’s just that most people are exhausted just preparing for the oil paintings of the adult competition, let alone participating in the student competition after participating in the adult competition.

However, the good professionalism still allowed the receptionist to answer politely:

"Theoretically speaking, it is possible to participate in the adult group and the student group at the same time, but the entries cannot be the same. I hope my husband can understand this."

"Okay, I see, then I would like to ask where is the submission channel?"

Higashino nodded with a smile and continued to ask.

"From here to the right corridor, there will be a special office, and someone will receive you there."

The receptionist replied.

"Thank you." Dong Yesi thanked politely.

He has no arrogance from beginning to end, and looks very calm.

But what he said made the reception lady couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Don’t worry about the entries of the student group, Yoshiko Okano will help to send them here, and the entries of the adult group must come here again by himself.

That's why he came here this time.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Higashinosi will naturally not stay any longer. He smiled and nodded at the reception lady, then turned and prepared to leave.

Seeing the back of Dongyesi leaving, the reception lady hesitated for a while before she reminded: "Sir, it is very unrealistic to participate in the competition of the adult group and the student group at the same time. If you are really capable, I still suggest you Focus on one entry."

She didn't know why she had to say a word.

Maybe it's because Director Higashino is pretty good, or maybe he feels the slightest arrogance from the other party, and he treats people very politely.

"Thank you, miss, for your suggestion." Higashinosi stopped in his tracks and thanked her. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said to her, "But I think I still have a good chance."

This "right", should obviously be a questioning tone, but when it comes to Dong Yesi's mouth, it seems so logical and taken for granted.

He smiled again and left.

Looking at his back, the reception lady was taken aback.

From the other party's words, she could only hear a strong sense of self-confidence.

But where does this confidence come from?

She didn't know it at all.

She seemed to be overwhelmed by the other party's natural tone, and she couldn't say any rebuttal words.

Therefore, the receptionist remembers Higashino Si's face, and has an inexplicable illusion in her heart that this person might really win the gold award.
