Workshop "Omoitsuki no KOE to IRO"
About Kids meet
The "Kids meet" series of children’s programs creates opportunities for children of diverse backgrounds to meet by change, encounter things they could never have imagined, and talk to each other through art experiences. Our aims are for these experiences to broaden the way children see the world and expand their worlds, and to draw out in the children a rich imagination that respects diverse values.

Artists
Omoitsuki no KOE to IRO
"Omoitsuki no KOE to IRO" started spontaneously.
The time it takes to keep an idea in your mind and shape it by adding voices and colors is filled with excitement.
The process of creating is the most precious time.
Sometimes alone, sometimes as a pair, sometimes with everybody.
It is a laboratory of voices and colors initiated by Kojima Hijiri and Hiramatsu Asa.
Mainly using the format of the kamishibai picture-story show, they present works irregularly and spontaneously.

Born in Tokyo. Alongside her regular appearances in films, Kojima Hijiri has also received acclaim recently as a stage actor and performed in many plays by high-profile directors, developing new appeal as an actor. She is the author of Wild Berry Jam (2018, Seigensha).
