"Hoo!Hey!"
Yukihito Okabe/THE GARDEN OF HOPE/MieYukihito Okabe creates artworks by applying crayons to fill the spaces with colors and then using a needle to scrape off the surface, collecting the resulting shavings. He plays with these shavings, molding them like clay and creating his artwork, which he refers to as "Koroichi." Interestingly, he does not value the painting itself which attracts people with its vibrant colors and strong touch. His works have no specific motifs or themes, and his use of colors and how he applies depends on the timing or his mood. However, the process of scraping remains constant. Recently, he has expanded his artistic methods by incorporating poster colors on top of the crayons before scraping, adding more variations to his creative process.

"Maze"
Yu Takada/Jinenjo Club/IbarakiYu Takada has a rich sensitivity and imagination, possessing a wide range of expressions as a performer in taiko drumming, painting, and dancing. He is a true Disney®fan and creates works inspired by parades and magic carpets. Other than Disney®, he likes to draw mazes as well. The multi-layered mazes, gradually formed by connecting line after line, lure people into a labyrinth. With a laid-back personality, he enjoys adorning his favorite books in his room and around his bed, having a leisurely atmosphere surrounding him.
