■What is "Parent-Child Day"?
Since coming to Japan in 1980, photographer Bruce Osborne has been active in a variety of fields, including exhibitions, advertising, and CD jackets. It was a day to reflect on the "irreplaceable bond" between parent and child that he felt through the filming. That is Parent-Child Day. This anniversary, which falls on the fourth Sunday of July, marks its 11th year this year. TSUTAYA also sympathizes with this message and supports "Parent-Child Day," hoping that this once-a-year day will be an opportunity for many parents and children to face each other and deepen their bonds.
◎From June 20th to August 22nd, TSUTAYA and Dai-ichi Life will be running a special collaboration project called "Parents and Children! Families! Smile Campaign 2014." http://hs.tsite.jp/oyakonohi/
