Thanks to everyone who supported this project. The Oyako Committee is now thinking about Oyako Day 2008 and we look forward to hearing from you. In the beginning of next year, we will start updating you next year's activities.

Oyako Day press
Due to the tremendous amount of publicity about Oyako Day, we received a much larger volume email and letters than previous years. Not only did we hear from people living in Japan, but also many individuals in other countries. July 22, a popular program on Fuji TV created a special show with an Oyako Day theme which generated an amazing amount of interest. This year’s Oyako Photo Contest and Oyako Essay Contest are now closed. We will be announcing the winners in the next few weeks. Also, today Asahi Newspaper ran an article about Oyako Day.

Oyako Day 2007
Oyako Day was on July 22 and it was incredible! 100 families participated in this year’s Super Photo Session, which took approximately 10 hours to complete. It was a long day, but we had a fantastic time. Thanks to all my staff and the Oyako that came to be photographed. I took many fun and heartwarming photos. Now I’m on a tight schedule to edit and print everything for my exhibition at Olympus Gallery. The show starts Aug. 30 and goes through Sept. 5. If you are in Tokyo, I hope you can make time to see it.

The staff and I had a long day, but we were still ready to party after an energy packed day.
