greeting
My name is Ron Hashiguchi, the representative of Spray Art Exgin Co., Ltd., a venture company from Shizuoka University. I founded this company with the desire to "solve social problems through art." When I got a job to draw a mural for a long-term care facility, a user of that facility said, "I want you to draw my memories as well." This led me to wonder if it would be possible to solve both the care that users really want and the problems that the long-term care industry has (especially the shortage of human resources). Mickel (= find) art was born in this way. Mickel art is drawn in colors and touches that are easy for the elderly to see, and the subjects are various, such as "living room," "nostalgic hometown scenery," and "scenes that can be seen in each season," and the number exceeds 2000. .. The biggest feature is that every detail of the picture is devised to bring out the conversation naturally. Since it is possible to bring out conversations with just one picture, it is highly evaluated as a "dementia program that even new staff can do" without choosing a user. So far, the dementia prevention effect of Mickel Art has been announced at academic conferences every year, including joint research with Tokyo Medical and Dental University.
