・Mika Kamijo

At the age of 19, she started drawing self-taught by deforming the face of medical staff working for the hospital where she was hospitalized due to autosomal recessive hereditary disease. Her drawing themes are “colorful imaginary world” and “dream world”.

・Eiichi Shibata

Born in 1970. Drawing itself is already what makes him feel good and stabilizes himself when he is anxious. He has been drawing under the theme of “‘Sekken no Se,’ S of soap”, which is an eternal mystery, for more than 25 years. This veteran attracts the attention at the overseas art fairs and artworks were sold out at his first solo-exhibition in NY. But he is totally indifferent to those great achievements and lives at his own pace. Enjoying wordplay, he is beloved by everybody of welfare facility.
