This time, we have decided to rent a new activity base office and production studio in “Okuharima Kakashi no Sato (The Scarecrow Village of Okuharima)” in Himeji city. The villagers are taking care of Chika Usui.

Not only that, but we will work with the administration and local people to challenge completely new things!

It was an important challenge for us to see how an artist can be involved with the local community in Japan. Also, as the storage capacity of our artwork reached its limit, how will we secure our production space… We have been thinking about those problems since we came back from France last year.

This is a great opportunity for us to experience new values that we have never had before. And we have a hunch that we will be able to climb one more step in creation!!
