Pentel is a sponsor of the International Children’s Art Exhibition (ICAE) organized by the Biiku Bunka Kyokai (The Foundation of Art Education in Japan) annually since 1970.
The exhibition, the first of which was held on the site of the Japan World Exposition in 1970, celebrated its 52th anniversary in 2021.
It is one of the world’s largest children’s art exhibitions, attracting more than 80,000 entries (40,000 from Japan and 40,000 from abroad) from 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.
