Artists

SHIMA Eiko
Born in 1943, Tokyo Prefecture. Live in Itabashi city, Tokyo. After retiring from work, she devoted herself to creating paper cutouts, paper-pasting, and collage works that she learned independently. She has continued creating steadily, late at night, after finishing her housework and caregiving. She creates intricate collage works by cutting out motifs related to daily life-such as houses, furniture, fruits, and jewelry-from advertising flyers and pasting them together piece by piece. Major exhibitions include "Museum of Mom’s Art" (Tokyo Shibuya Koen-dori Gallery, Tokyo, 2022), "Sunday Production Studies" (Tomonotsu Museum, Hiroshima, 2023).

TAKEDA Hiraku
Born in 1988, Yamagata Prefecture. The work of stuffing disposable chopsticks into milk cartons evolved into a total of eight pieces, the largest of which reached over two meters in height, completed in about two months. The disposable chopsticks, typically used and discarded daily, seem to undulate back to life, suggesting a process of returning to their original arboreal form. The gravity-defying forms are infused with organic energy. Recent major exhibitions include "POCORART World Exhibition 'Chance and Necessity and...' "(3331 Arts Chiyoda, Tokyo, 2021).

NOUDA Yuka
Born in 1966, Saitama Prefecture. She collects discarded thread and fabric scraps from her studio, creating objects she calls "Noudama" by winding and compacting them. The soft lines overlap to form cocoon-like and human-shaped figures. Combined with vibrant, lively colors, they exude vitality as if they might start moving at any moment. Recent major exhibitions include "Outsider Art Fair in New York 2025" (Metropolitan Pavilion, New York, 2025).
