Balangon - A Picture Book of Bananas
Illustration by Balangon Workshop (Brenda Fajardo, Manuel Pambido, Noel Cuizon, B**g Dazo, Angelo Dazo, Ida Bugayong, Prospero Covar, and Manuel Chavez)
Text by Hotta Masahiko and Kiri Kojima

Language: Japanese
Exhibited at the Library

The Japan Committee for Negros Campaign (JCNC) began the “people-to-people” trading of Balangon banana from the Visayas to Japan, which was later succeeded by Alter Trade Corporation (ATC). Balangon - A Picture Book of Bananas was published as an educational tool to inform the Japanese youth about the stories of the growers/harvesters of balangon bananas living at the foot of Mt. Kanlaon. The book was a collaborative project of Japanese writers, and Filipino artists grouped together as Balangon Workshop. The members of the Balangon Workshop included Filipino artists and cultural workers Brenda Fajardo, Manuel Pambido, Noel Cuizon, B**g Dazo, Angelo Dazo, Ida Bugayong, Prospero Covar, and Manuel Chavez.
