[The world of pastel paintings created with fingers]
“Wachi Field World” is drawn in unique colors using “pastel”, a material made of solidified colored powder.
It is an exhibition structure where you can fully enjoy the charm of pastels that "Akiko Ikeda, a person who draws with fingers" creates a unique world using the unrivaled technique of "pastel painting".

For the new original picture "Train from the Sea", a fixed-point camera was installed to record everything that the work was born from white paper and create a video. You can also enjoy the process of creating works on YouTube.
