In the second installment, which will start anew this time, we will sell "Masks made with contemporary artists" together with 14 contemporary artists who agreed with the intention of this project, and like the first installment, half of the profits will be made by National International. Donate to the Medical Research Center. The artists participating this time have completely different methods of expression and concepts. This time, this charity project was used as an opportunity to create a common theme of "masks".

- Comment from Kohei Nawa
"If an artist can help a society facing difficulties, I think it is" working on people's sensibilities through the positive energy of art. "
This time, I also invited young artists who are expected to play an active role to participate and asked them to design original masks based on the visual images of each work.
We hope that this ART MASK PROJECT will be of some help to support people working in the medical field and to supplement the problems and material shortages that hospitals have. -Kohei Nawa
