Contribution to the development of the arts
Support for young artists

Since 2020, the Company has been supporting ARTISTS’ FAIR KYOTO, an exhibition of up-and-coming artists in their 20s and 30s, by taking up leading artists in Japan and abroad. Under the supervision of Professor Noboru Tsubaki of Kyoto University of Arts, who is also the director of ARTISTS’ FAIR KYOTO, we have exhibited artists’ works at our offices and facilities. We display more than 100 works of art, ranging from palm-sized objects to large-scale works up to 10 meters in length with the hope that they will not only be enjoyed by visitors but also stimulate the imagination of our employees and lead to the development of better products.
