On April 4th (Thursday), the Daio Grand Prize Exhibition (first half) will be held at the Daio Art Gallery (4nd floor exhibition room).
Daio Town's scenic landscape and the people living there stimulated the creative spirit of people who love painting, and from around the Taisho era, young painters and art students who wanted to experiment with new forms of expression began to visit. The people of the town welcomed them warmly, and the town became known throughout the country as a drawing town.
In 1996, the former Daio-cho declared itself a ``painting town'' so that many people could learn about its beautiful scenery, and even now that it has become Shima City, it continues to support people who draw.
The ``Daio Grand Prize Exhibition'' is sponsored by the Painting Town Daio Executive Committee, and the first painting exhibition was held in 1997, and has been held every other year since then until the 13th edition in 2021.
The works selected for the Grand Prize, Gold Prize, Silver Prize, and Bronze Prize are purchased and kept by Shima City. The works are held in special exhibitions at the Daio Art Gallery and on display inside the Shima City Hall building, helping to improve tourism and cultural awareness among citizens.

This is a festival where legend has it that the villagers made a giant straw sandal the size of a tatami mat and showed it to the giant Dandaraboushi, who was destroying the village, to scare him away.
A ``warajihiki'' ritual is held in which local children act as young children, after which they are carried to the beach and floated out to sea to pray for safety at sea and a good catch.
There will also be a fireworks display at night along the way with mikoshi and dancers.
The Waraji Festival was recognized for its value as it is a rare festival nationwide and has an old tradition, and was designated as an intangible cultural property of Mie Prefecture on March 46, 3.
Once upon a time, a one-eyed, one-legged giant man called Dandaraboushi lived on Iyagashima Island (present-day Daiojima Island) and did mischief by summoning clouds and causing storms.
The troubled villagers asked Iya Gongen, the god of Nakiri, for help, devised a plan, and helped the villagers.
When Dandaraboushi came to ravage the village again, he found a beautiful girl knitting a waramushiro at his feet.
Dandaraboushi, who did not know that this girl was the incarnation of Waya Gongen, asked her, ``What is this waraji?''
The girl answered, ``These are straw sandals worn by the village head.''
When Dandaraboushi heard this, he was surprised and changed direction, saying, ``Is there someone stronger than me? I can't enter this village.''
However, this time, a large group of fishermen were busy mending their sardine nets that had been spread out all over the beach, and there were several baskets as long as 2 meters nearby.
In fact, these fishermen were also messengers of Wei Ya Gongen, but Dandaraboushi, who did not know this, asked the fishermen the same question he had asked his daughter, and the fisherman replied, ``This (sardine net) is the village owner's loincloth. , that (basket) is a bento box.''
When Dandaraboushi heard this, he was startled twice and ran away as fast as he could.The sea eventually subsided, and days of great fishing continued.
