Business Overview

Following the launch of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities in April 2016, we aim to create an event that transcends barriers between the disabled and the able-bodied and allows all children to embrace diversity and discover dreams and hopes through the power of picture books. There will be a piano performance by a blind junior high school student, an exhibition of Braille picture books, games using Braille, and a picture book reading session with sign language interpreters.
