I am very happy that a work I painted freely, in my own way, has been honored like this. #Photo: Takemura Hiroki <Title, artist name, artist comment> Title: Gochamaze Smile!

The artworks being turned into products and exhibited this time carry each artist's own ideas, sensibility and feelings, and bring new awareness and inspiration to those who see them. We hope that initiatives like this will become an opportunity for more people to feel close to artworks by people with disabilities, and will lead to further enrichment of diverse creative and expressive activities. <Director of the Chiba Prefecture Support Center for Arts and Cultural Activities of Persons with Disabilities, Umi no Mori, Mr. Komachida Tamao> This year too, the award-winning works of the open-call exhibition "Everyone's Expression: Umi no Mori Treasure Box" at Fa
