After Typhoon Lionrock that hit Iwaizumi, Iwate last year, the Iwaizumi roadside station (Michi-no-eki) was closed (in stages) for rebuilding and renovation works. To celebrate its upcoming (full) reopening on 20th April, Furudate-sensei drew a shikishi to welcome customers to the roadside station. On its reopening, there will be a ‘Haikyuu!! corner’ at the roadside station with all the volumes of the manga and life-size tapestries together with other items for customers to enjoy.

Translation of shikishi (a square fancy cardboard for autographs/illustrations): “Welcome to Michi no Eki Iwaizumi!!”

[Furudate-sensei has previously shown his support for the residents of Iwaizumi and surrounding areas affected by the typhoon with this illustration.]
