Just 10 years ago, I established an NPO (Non Profit Organiation) called “CANVAS”
and have been working with the industry, academia, schools, governments, artists,
parents, and children. Two thousand workshops were provided to children throughout
the world.
The goal of this project is to enable every child on the earth to create Anime and
to compose music with digital technology.
For example, in the clay anime workshop held in Tokyo University, they created their
own characters, made scenarios, shot photos, edited on PCs, recorded sounds, and
rather more important is that they showed their Anime (animation) to their families,
friends, teachers, etc. and got feedback from them. Through workshops, they learn
how to use devices, how to entertain visually, and how to manage copyrights.
The Photo Manga workshop using mobile phones was held in Tokyo and Paris
supported by the UNESCO. Children created cartoons by taking four pictures and
sent them out by mobile phones.
Here is one photo Manga made by a girl from Paris.
1. A lovely girl,
2. She loves walking,
3. She loves sweets,
4. She loves kisses.
