What is the meaning and aspirations behind your art?

This year too, Santa Claus came on a plane and brought a message. I hope you will feel warm when you read the message decorated with the wreath.

I drew curtains to make the glass surface look like a window at home. I hope you enjoy the Christmas-like accessories displayed in the window!

So Japanese! Pop "Ukiyo-e Christmas"
Nacchan501
What is the meaning and aspirations behind your art?

Since this is a place where not only Japanese people but also many foreign people visit, we wanted to use a motif that is typical of Japan and that everyone would find interesting, so I decided to incorporate ukiyo-e.

By combining Christmas and ukiyo-e, the work depicts the meaning of friendship between foreign and Japanese cultures. I personally like pop atmosphere, so I created the image of a pop ukiyo-e Christmas.

What would you Especially Like Customers to See?

This is a comical drawing of an ukiyo-e-style man and woman wearing Santa Claus costumes. I drew them vividly so that even if you walk from far away. I wonder if the red and green colors were similar to the image of Kabuki to the foreigners who passed by when I was drawing. As they passed by, I received a wonderful title: "KABUKI Christmas!"


Have you got a message for our customers?

While I was drawing it, many people talked to me, and I felt that Narita Airport had come back to life! Many people may be having a lively Christmas for the first time in a while. I hope that my window art will further excite everyone's anticipation for Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
Reindeer? No way! Santa is coming by plane!
Masae Matsunaga
What is the meaning and aspirations behind your art?

The design is filled with a warm and exciting feeling that will make you look forward to Christmas and love airports even more.
What would you Especially Like Customers to See?
Each window depicts a historic aircraft, similar to what you would see at an aviation museum. I would be happy if you could find your favorite aircraft.
There's also a big Santa actually winking, some of the elves working in the snowman's window are playing, and there's an autograph from a child who helped me draw on the glass. Please find out a sence of fun!
Have you got a message for our customers?

I wish your Happy Merry Christmas!
It's like getting lost in the forest...the various "encounters" are fun!
Marie Ikura
What is the meaning and aspirations behind your art?

I decided to add pictures on both sides of the security checkpoint and drew Aun's reindeer. I drew it with the feeling of "have a nice trip", as if watching over everyone when they departed, so I'd be happy if you could give it a look.
What would you Especially Like Customers to See?
I drew an airplane to look like a bird taking off, but if you tilt your head a little, doesn't it look like a Christmas tree? I thought it would be cute if the people in front of the picture were all tilting their heads as I drew it.
Have you got a message for our customers?

While I was drawing, many passengers talked to me, so I could have a great time with my Christmas art. It is a temporary painting that will disappear after Christmas. I would be happy if you could meet them and leave some memories.

Note from the editor
Thank you for reading to the end.
The short autumn is over, and it's suddenly getting colder. There was a time when I was soothed by the scent of osmanthus in the airport, but now I can feel the breeze blowing in from the runway. Everyone please be careful not to catch a cold. See you next month.
