Pentel is a sponsor of the International Children’s Art Exhibition (ICAE) organized by the Biiku Bunka Kyokai (Public Interest Incorporated Foundation of Japan for Culture and Art Education) annually since 1970.
The exhibition, the first of which was held on the site of the Japan World Expo in 1970, celebrated its 57th anniversary in 2026.
It is one of the world’s largest children’s art exhibitions, attracting more than 80,000 entries (about 40,000 from Japan and about 40,000 from abroad) from about 40 countries and regions each year.
Through the gathered children’s pictures, we help children nurture sensitivity and contribute to the building of a society that has appreciation for art.
