Naoki Koide, a sculptor, has built a place for children to enrich their creativity at Kodomo Mirai En’s art class. Just as Koide usually produces his artwork made of a wide range of materials, he encourages children to use media such as clay, pencils and soil as well as Koide himself to boost their spontaneity. Koide and each child interact each other in creative moments for pursuing their own imagination and interests.

This exhibition will trace a process of how 15 children were served by Koide=artist and expand each of their own creativity.
