Social Contribution Through Art
At TOMOSHIBI wall art, our activities go beyond commercial art projects.
We are also engaged in social initiatives that highlight the character of local communities and nurture children’s creativity, helping them expand their possibilities.
Through the power of art, we aim to bring warmth and light to both places and the people connected to them.
These projects involve creating murals together with local residents while respecting the landscape and shared memories of the area.
We carefully listen to the wishes of the community and reflect local culture and stories in the design. On the day of painting, children and adults work side by side with the artists to complete the artwork.
While maintaining professional design quality, we shape ideas and symbols that only local people truly understand. The result is a one of a kind artwork that belongs to the place and continues to be cherished as a source of pride within the community.
Live art is created within a limited time using large canvases, long rolls of paper, and uniquely shaped pieces of wood. Children, together with their parents, join the artists to complete a single artwork.
These activities take place at events and festivals, where artists and children work in an improvised style. By using materials and scales that are rarely experienced in everyday life, participants can enjoy the freedom of drawing and painting to the fullest.
Because the artwork is completed in one continuous session, a strong sense of energy and unity naturally emerges. Children and adults alike become part of the creative process, and the finished piece carries the passion and spontaneity of that shared moment.
In some workshops, children paint Japanese style artwork using brushes on traditional paper. In others, they paint on shaped wooden pieces to create original pendants. We offer a wide range of workshop formats depending on the event and setting.
It is not unusual to see children holding a brush for the first time and handling it with surprising confidence. These workshops draw out a child’s natural sensitivity and often help parents notice their child’s interests and abilities.
By working with a variety of materials and techniques, we design workshops that gently spark creativity. Moments when parents discover their child’s hidden talents remind us of the joy art can bring. These workshops are not only about making art, but also about creating meaningful connections between children and adults.
“Trash or Treat” is a unique community activity supported by TOMOSHIBI wall art.
The project was conceived by artist aki artist and the playful community figure Eiji. Participants pick up litter around the neighborhood while wearing costumes. Those who prefer something simpler are welcome to join with a small mask or in everyday clothing.
The idea is to use fun and visibility to spark interest. Eye catching costumes naturally draw attention and help spread awareness of the activity. This often encourages more people to join future events and inspires others to take better care of their surroundings.
Open to people of all ages, this activity becomes a memorable and enjoyable experience for the community. At the same time, it nurtures a shared sense of care for the town and creates a positive cycle of goodwill. Through this playful form of social contribution, TOMOSHIBI wall art continues to support meaningful connections within the community.
