Also in you, ICJ, I think increasingly that it is playing an active part in your good health.

Moreover, let's say each support company'at both matter and mind, including the Takase product incorporated company who has obtained support.
Now, he is keenly just going to realize it the difficult part which the environment of ice sculpture should also change in the stagnation of Japanese economy over a long period of time, should just think hard, and should measure future activation and a view by arrival of the depression since the collapse of the bubble economy. It is more important than anything that the future image used as a member's charm is shown.

History
Although it was about why ICJ was born, it was a meeting of only the student who learned to Shimizu ice carving academy (classroom which the chairman's Shimizu sponsors) at the beginning.
Before inauguration of a meeting, when the student of an advanced class participated in ice sculpture exhibitions, such as All japan chefs association, it was the cause which might be referred to as completely being unable to put mark into my pupils' work.
It started with what the ice sculpture exhibition which I have accepted impartially will be held for by its hand.
Then, in order for there to be participating hope from other organizations, to be glad as me, and to accept this and to lose misunderstanding with AJCA, Although it was positively engaged in the technical guidance of the member of local AJCA, it came out also some here and there which join ICJ from the inside and it became about 650 persons temporarily, Although it has decreased to about 1/3 now, an overseas ice sculpture meeting, especially NICA (U.S.) are the places which touched the chip box, cooperated each other and have cooperated for development of the ice sculpture community in the world.
Misunderstanding and perversion are sometimes happening although it may be being able to say also to what world.
I believe whether to be a way where a person with Chie should perform just devising so that people and a person may be reconciled through sincere action, explanation, etc. and important one may go with both hands.
