Let’s Talk: My Creative Process
~Featuring Captain Hiroshi Sasaki, Professional Naturalist~ |

We invite various experts and artists who collaborate with us on the Kids Creative Institute’s workshop programs to serve as guest speakers. Centered on their personal journeys to becoming who they are today, they’ll engage in a dialogue with participants. Our guest this time is Hiroshi Sasaki, a “Professional Naturalist.” In the relaxed atmosphere of the historic Nakamachi House, surrounded by a lush, nature-filled garden, what if we took a peek into the process of one person’s journey to adulthood…? It might just provide some hints for thinking about “how I shape myself” both now and in the future.
