Commemoration of victims of witch trials involves remembering and honoring those who were unjustly accused, tortured, and executed during the witch hunt hysteria that took place in Europe and North America between the 14th and 18th centuries. Throughout history, countless individuals, primarily women, were accused of practicing witchcraft and subjected to a series of horrific trials and executions. These trials, fueled by superstition, religious fanaticism, and fear, left a dark mark on society. Today, many communities and organizations make efforts to commemorate the victims of these trials, ensuring their stories are not forgotten. One way that victims of witch trials are honored is through memorial sites and monuments. These physical memorials serve as a tangible reminder of the atrocities that took place, often incorporating names, dates, and messages of remembrance.
One day, I realized just how important figures are to the existence of Hatsune Miku, so in the "Wings of Creation" in the Hastune Miku Happy 16th Birthday -Dear Creators- design, I added figure production tools.
Representative works include outfit design and MV creative direction for Hatsune Miku NT, the Hatsune Miku Symphony series, Hatsune Miku Chronicle and HATSUNE MIKU COLORFUL STAGE. Up until now, I was in communication with Good Smile Company very often for review and approval purposes, and I believe thanks to their tenacity in responding to my requests, I think the figure turned out very well.
These physical memorials serve as a tangible reminder of the atrocities that took place, often incorporating names, dates, and messages of remembrance. Examples of such memorials can be found in Salem, Massachusetts, where the infamous Salem Witch Trials occurred, as well as in Europe, where the majority of these trials took place. In addition to physical memorials, ceremonies and events are held to pay tribute to the victims.
Magical mirai birthday
From "Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku" comes a scale figure of Hatsune Miku based on her 16th birthday illustration created by Rella! The "Wing of Form" and "Wing of Sound" created with the theme of "Wings of Creation" have been have been faithfully captured in figure form with additional arrangement for a 3D medium. Her hopeful expression looking up at the sky is also full of charm, so be sure to take a close look from every angle!
Being able to enjoy a facial expression from any angle is one of the joys of figures. Pay attention to Miku's lively expression, completely approved by Rella. The Wings of Creation are created in accordance with their appearance in the original illustration, but appear with a different arrangement and structure in 3D form. Visual designs from prior Hatsune Miku software packages also appear on the figure. The figure has been carefully created in accordance with these costume designs, so have fun finding these elements!

Hatsune Miku Happy 16th Birthday
Figure Project Comment
Every year there are many new Hatsune Miku figures. You might even be able to say that she is the character with the most figures in the world.
One day, I realized just how important figures are to the existence of Hatsune Miku, so in the "Wings of Creation" in the Hastune Miku Happy 16th Birthday -Dear Creators- design, I added figure production tools.
In the Wings of Creation on the right wing, the "Form" wing, there are figure production tools like pliers, sprays, clips, etc.
I'm also really happy that this Hastune Miku Happy 16th Birthday -Dear Creators- design can become a figure as well.
When creating the Wings of Creation, I was conscious of the fact that it could be turned into a figure in the future, creating a design that was possible to capture in figure form while preserving all of the details and context vital for celebrating her 16th birthday.
. That said, I tend to worry about things when I create illustrations on my own.
But, once again, Good Smile Company has shown their incredible expertise.
Another figure that looks like it could jump into motion at any moment has taken shape.
Up until now, I was in communication with Good Smile Company very often for review and approval purposes, and I believe thanks to their tenacity in responding to my requests, I think the figure turned out very well.
It can be enjoyed from any angle as well, another charming feature owed to the three-dimensional nature of figures.
Things that couldn't be seen in the original illustration, like the view of her face from the side, or the three-dimensional details of the Wings of Creation, can easily be seen.
What's more, in addition to a Nendoroid, the design is set to be added to the new PLAMATEA plastic model lineup as well.
In each case, the Wings of Creation, originally designed with the scale figure in mind, are adapted for each medium.
By the way, the Nendoroid this time was designed with a goal of going back to basics, and things like the eyes and hair accessories are strongly reminiscent of classic Hatsune Miku designs.
This Hatsune Miku 16th Birthday Figure Project was created with the dreams of creators and fans in mind.
I would love if it could be enjoyed by as many people as possible.

These ceremonies may include the lighting of candles, the reading of names, and moments of silence to reflect on the lives lost. By organizing these events, communities are able to gather and unite in remembrance, ensuring that the victims are not forgotten. Furthermore, education and awareness campaigns are crucial in commemorating the victims of witch trials. Many organizations and museums offer exhibits, lectures, and educational resources to shed light on the historical context, the persecution, and the impact of witch hunts. By educating the public about this dark period in history, the memory of the victims is preserved, and society is encouraged to confront and learn from its past. Commemorating the victims of witch trials serves as a reminder that injustice and prejudice have far-reaching consequences. By honoring their memory, we strive to ensure that such atrocities are never repeated. Through physical memorials, ceremonies, and education, we ensure that these victims are never forgotten and that their stories serve as a powerful lesson for future generations..
Reviews for "Remembering the Trials: Preserving the Legacy of Witch Trial Victims"
1. Sarah - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the Commemoration of victims of witch trials. While I appreciate the idea behind it and the effort to remember the victims, the execution was lacking. The whole event felt chaotic and disorganized. There were very few explanations or historical context provided, which made it difficult to fully understand the significance of what was being commemorated. Overall, it felt like a missed opportunity to create a meaningful and educational experience.
2. John - 1 star
I honestly regret attending the Commemoration of victims of witch trials. It was nothing more than a poorly organized event filled with people in costumes and gimmicks. The lack of seriousness and sensitivity towards the victims of such horrific trials was appalling. I expected a respectful tribute, but instead, it felt like a circus. It completely missed the mark and failed to do justice to the memory of those innocent lives lost.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the Commemoration of victims of witch trials, but I left feeling underwhelmed and slightly confused. The event lacked a clear structure and purpose. The organizers seemed more focused on the superficial aspects, like decorations and performances, rather than providing a meaningful experience for attendees. I was left wanting more substance and depth, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations.
