Art Project for those affected by the Tohoku-Pacific Coast Earthquake.
We would like to express our sincere condolences for the loss of many precious lives in the Tohoku-Pacific Coast Earthquake.
The aim of ARTS for HOPE is to encourage and support the recovery of many children's aching hearts by offering them artistic programs that can enhance their peace of mind.
We will walk beside them for a long time and offer them the knowledge we have acquired by working many years in the domain of Hospital Art, which is an art program for patients in hospital. We work with artists who have been working to educate others about emotional care with children, and we also work with specialists who have worked in disaster areas overseas, who cooperate with people in the domain of healthcare, education, art and youth development.
