Visited Italy and Spain from Feb. 9 to have the children paint the Biggest Painting in the World in Italy and in Spain respectively.  On 12th, the children in Madrid painted pictures through good offices of the Embassy of Spain. Mr. Terauchi and Ms. Kimura, who live in Madrid accompanied us. We had pictures taken in front of Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales in the old quarters of Madrid, one of the symbolic sites of Japan-Spain relationship, where Tsunenaga Hasekura  was baptized 400 years ago.
