Profile

【mina_te_mari 】
This is a Deaf artist unit that connects sign language with culture and art.
It was established in April 2023 by deaf actors Yumiko Kawai and sign-poet Sasa-Marie.
The purpose of this program is to establish and pass on a culture in which Deaf people can express their inner feelings as "words" and "poems" and interact with each other through sign language, which is their own language, and through the expression methods that are created in everyday life where they are visually dominant.
