Carrying on the precious lives

These are the crowdfunding visuals for the creation of “Hagachizaki Monkey Bay”, a theme park resurrected in Hagachizaki, South-Izu where visitors can interact with wild Japanese monkeys, of which 300 are cared for. It was built after the dilapidation and closure of “Saru-no-Rakuen”.
Opened back in 1957, due to the lack of visitors, renewals and maintenance of the facilities was not possible, leading to a shutdown of the park after dilapidation took its course. However, the monkeys, who had lied together with humans for the most part of their lives, faced the prospect of starvation as the closure would mean they would have no access to food. There, to protect the lives of the 300 wild monkeys, and the recreation of the park as Hagachizaki Monkey Bay, a crowdfunding project was started to raise funds for continuation of services. WORLD FESTIVAL, to broadcast the protection of irreplaceable lives together, as well as the importance of enduring life together, headed the visual aspect of production.
