Since 2014, Pentel has worked on a project in partnership with Canon Marketing Japan Inc. to create opportunities for elementary schoolchildren to make memories of their school buildings slated to be demolished for rebuilding or due to school closure and integration.
In this project, children draw pictures and add colors using their school buildings as a giant “canvass.”
The project also invites local residents, past graduates, and guardians to participate and experience the fun of “drawing, painting and writing” and “taking photographs,” and it provides opportunities for children to exhibit their latent creativity.
