The reading was performed by one of ONE DEJIMA’s employees who is raising children. Drawing on their daily experience of reading picture books at home, they enthusiastically brought the story to life at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The protagonist of the picture book is a cacao bean named “Jean-Pierre.” The story, which follows Jean-Pierre as he travels the world’s seven seas until he is delivered to people, gives children an awareness of the question, “Where and how do the things around us come from?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the “Dejima Expo” was also being held concurrently, we heard children say, “I saw the containers in Kamome Hiroba (Seagull Square)!” We were able to witness a precious moment where the world of the picture book connected with the reality of logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This picture book not only provides an opportunity for children to learn about the world of shipping but also serves as an important tool for the children of employees working in the shipping industry to feel closer to their family’s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many of the goods that support our daily lives are delivered from all over the world by containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This event provided an opportunity to truly appreciate, once again, the immense role and value of container shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We sincerely thank Metro Bookstore for providing us with this wonderful opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a company based in Nagasaki, ONE DEJIMA values its connections with the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We will continue to deepen our exchange with the local community through various opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On May 5, 2025, in conjunction with Children’s Day, we participated in the ‘Special Picture Book Reading Event’ held at the Metro Bookstore inside Amu Plaza Nagasaki.
