		The Orbis Pictus Europa Project is based on the concept of a “never-ending” scroll of canvas where individual artists present their own ideas according to their artistic nature.
		This may be the reason why the concept of an Orbis Pictus Europa Project was born in a country where many artists experienced an enforced and long-term isolation from cultural life.

		On the significance of illustrations in Orbis pictus of J.A.Comenius
		The point I want to make is that illustrations in the Orbis sensualium pictus (the Visible World by the Senses,1658) of Jan Amos Comenius(1592-1670) have the significance to learn both languages and things.
		Orbis pictus was first translated into Japanese 1739 by Gonza, who was a young Japanese drifter.

		The Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children, sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), and the Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award, sponsored by the Association of Library Services to Children (ALSC), are two of these awards.
		From the wonderful nonfiction books published each year, the Orbis Pictus Committee must select one book as the most outstanding nonfiction work for children in comparison to the others published in the same calendar year.
		In the end, the committee's decision spotlights a book that is not necessarily useful in all schools' curricula but is in some, a book that is not necessarily appealing to all young readers or their parents but is to many.

		Innovative in the "Orbis Pictus" was the didactic use of the method of "picture tables" whereby, in a more systematic way the in traditional emblematic art, word and image were presented together in direct context.

		The basis for this installation is also taken from the "Orbis Pictus" work and is what Comenius called "a living alphabet": letters represented by pictures and associated with real-life sound imitations (onomatopoeia).
