“One Day with Doraemon” exhibition opens in Hanoi
22:38, 2013/11/30
The “One Day with Doraemon” painting exhibition, organised by Kim Dong Publishing House, launched in Hanoi on November 30.
The exhibition’s 80 displayed paintings were selected from October’s "One Day with Doraemon" contest open to Vietnamese school students aged 6–12. Doraemon’s robotic cat protagonist is imagined visiting Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, harvesting, and participating in carnival festivals.

Doraemon Education Fund Director Le Phuong Lien said the character is immensely popular with Vietnamese children because of its enrapturing blend of “imagination and reality”.

Doraemon is a Japanese manga series created by Fujiko F Fujio. Fujiko Fujio contributed VND1 billion to the books’ first Vietnamese publishing and established the "Doraemon Education Fund” to support Vietnamese children.

 

The series tells the story of the titular character, an intelligent robotic cat who travels back in time from the 22nd century to aid a young boy named Nobita Nobi.

Most Doraemon episodes are comedies incorporating lessons on honesty, perseverance, courage, family, and respect for one’s elders.

The robotic cat has become a Japanese cultural ambassador. Doraemon was even recently designated an official Japanese citizen.
