URURU's online event, "Sorry for That Time Exhibition," now open to the public with episodes submitted from all over Japan. Ten award-winning works are announced.

Sorry I didn't help."
Works by Emiri

Judges' Comments: Young children are free and great adventurers. And yet, they are quick to appeal to those around them with tears and loud voices (laughter). In such situations, it is the job of adults to play a supporting role. After watching this episode, shouldn't the title of the "I did it award" be changed to the "Champagne from Under the Chair Award"? I thought. I think those who understand would understand.

Sorry for the many "wait a minute" moments."
Okasan's works

Jury Comments: Home is a child's first society. In this sense, parents and siblings may be the practice partners for the struggles, tolerances, and symbiosis they will one day encounter outside the home. On the other hand, all of these things apply to adults as well. Parents become parents while being saved by the innocence of their children. We have learned such lessons from so many episodes, and we are pleased to award this work the FOR CHILDREN PROJECT Award among them.

I'm sorry I haven't fed you cake before.
Works by Mr. Nagiren

Judges' comments: The smiling faces of the children are very impressive.

We could strongly feel the feelings of both the parents who had not been able to give a cake for a long time and the children who had been waiting for a cake for a long time.

Sorry to mimic your desperate cries."
Works by Furuwarma

Judges' Comment: Thank you very much for this heartwarming episode! The crying baby and the "aunt" imitating the baby's appearance made us feel the help and warm connection from people surrounding the child and the richness of the child-rearing environment. As a codemon who wants to create a world where everyone supports each other's children's upbringing and learning, I deeply sympathize with the selection of this episode.

Was it too hard for both of us at the same time?"
The work of Mr. Kotetsuban

Judges' comments: We were moved by this heartwarming episode that overflows with deep affection for the grandchildren. We hope that the grandfather who works so hard for his grandchildren and the kind grandchildren who love him will continue to create many happy memories.

Sorry to work in the park too."
Tsumu-mama's work

Judges' Comments: We were struck by the warm episode in which the children happily imitated their parents' work. I felt the depth of the family's bond even in the midst of busy days. I hope that you and your family go out a lot on your days off and make many wonderful memories together.

Sorry to wake you up early every morning."
Work by a foodie mama

Judges' Comments: We were also moved by the sight of the child who rubbed his sleepy eyes but worked hard to get up early every day. It was a heartwarming episode that conveyed the parents' gratitude. We hope you will sleep in once in a while and enjoy a relaxing day out with your family.

I'm sorry I haven't been nicer to you."
Works by Mr. Wanpaku Kakasan

Judges' Comments: I think we all have a sorry that we lose our spare time and get angry at each other in our one-operator lives, but we really want to enjoy our lives. We sympathized with such thoughts held by parents across the country. We selected them because we hope they will use OurPhoto to take photos full of smiling faces.

I'm sorry we couldn't have a party at your house for your first Christmas."
Works by Asa Gohan

Judges' comments: We selected these photos in the hope that this Christmas, you will take many photos at home and that they will lead to future memories for your family.

Sorry I took your picture before the "fly away in pain" part."
Works by Mi-cho-Mama

Jury Comments:

This is the most common photo shoot at OurPhoto for the Shichi-Go-San. Although an accident happened, it was a beautiful photo that only a family can leave behind...! We selected them because we hope they will continue to leave us with wonderful photos of their families.

The "I'm sorry for that time" exhibition received many more "I'm sorry" messages than we could have ever imagined. As I read through the episodes one by one, I felt that I could relate to every one of them, and that there were many stories of various families. At times, there were glimpses of heartbreaking regrets and conflicts, but at the end of every episode, I could feel the parents' desire to face their children properly. It was very warming, and as a fellow parent, I felt encouraged.

We are very happy to see that our wish for this project, "to give people a chance to reconsider the connection between parents and children by saying 'I'm sorry' in their own words," is taking shape.

And I would be happy to be a place where someone can find some relief that they are not the only one who is suffering.

Launched in March 2022 in an effort to reduce child abuse by even one more child from this world.

With the slogan, "Bringing kindness to children, little by little," we have been carrying out various activities on an irregular basis. Under the slogan of "A little circle of kindness around children," the company conducts various activities on an irregular basis, such as "Ennichi," a live event for parents and children to enjoy together, family photo sessions, classes at schools, workshops at camp events, and donations to support groups.
