Life is not a destination, but a journey

The moment you decided to go abroad a great adventure began. This world is so large, beyond even your wildest imagination. Yet, it's also a small world, limited to your own experience.

Life has become more than just a textbook to you and you urge for independence. Following your dreams abroad, everyday you will grow and flourish a little bit more.

Life is a train driving forward and you are the driver. Every moment, different passengers get on and off. After you bid farewell to the past suddenly you realize that, with your own power, you can do anything you set your mind to and your wildest dreams really can come true. We are all reaching for the light, one step at a time.

Saying goodbye to old friends you are making new comrades from all over the world in this new environment of Japan. When you decide to follow your pencil, and walk into Tokyo’s picturesque seasons your dream is being created before your very eyes. At your familiar studio, absorbed in art, your dream is flourishing. Because of your diligence all those top art institutions, which only used to show up in your dreams, are now within your grasp. Above this hopeful land what awaits you is always a future that is unknown, but worth the promise.

There are so many art museums and exhibitions in Tokyo gathering gifted artists from every corner of the world. There are endless painting materials at Sekaido Art Store Shinjuku. Thanks to the popularity of ACG (Anime, comics and games) culture, the acceptance for art among ordinary people have been accelerated. You can find art almost everywhere in Tokyo. In this dreamland, you experience your daily life, enjoy it's four seasons and reproduce all of those experiences in your work, which help you get closer to your ideal day by day.

If you live in Tokyo during your youth, then this charming city will be a part of you forever. The crowd in Shibuya, the fashion in Shimokitawaza, the leisure in Kichijouji, all of these memories will accompany you from spring to winter. Sometimes people who arrive here with you will later choose another path that is different from yours. Some start a new adventure and explore the rest of the world, others may just settle down in Tokyo. Look, there is always a new journey ahead, no matter what kind of path you choose. Just pick up your courage and start afresh.
