Message:

Bonjour,

It has been a wonderful honour to be asked to create the illustration for the 2016 Tohoku Food Marathon. After many years living in France and knowing of the success of the French Medoc Marathon, I knew I had an important role to play in producing a lively and joyful image!
For the poster I have combined the beautiful countryside of Tohoku with the excitement of this annual event, which I think combines some of the best things in life....fitness, food and fun! The marathon is a wonderful way for the whole community to come together and have a good time, promoting the region's rice wine and food. It's for everyone to enjoy so come along dressed up to the nines!
I wish the organizers and the participants every success for the Tohoku Food Marathon 2016, and would hope that one day I will get to visit your beautiful corner of Japan.

Kind wishes, Sarah Wilkins
