creative studio maruto ASOMANABO, a children's creative school operated by maruto LLC (Location: Shimouma, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Mai Osawa), will launch a new class, "maruto ○+ Art Mix Class," in July 2026 at creative studio maruto ○+ in Shimouma, Setagaya-ku. maruto ○+ Art Mix Class The "maruto ○+ Art Mix Class" is a class designed to help children discover their own "likes" and "strengths" by experiencing various forms of expression each month, including art, crafts, video, and science art. Drawing, making things with their hands, expressing themselves through video, and experimenting like in science. Children's interests and individuality can gradually become apparent through hands-on experience. "What does my child like?" "I don't know what to have them learn." "They seem interested in art and making things, but I'm hesitant about the first step." For such parents and children, we planned the Art Mix Class as an entry point to experience various forms of expression, rather than deciding on one genre from the start. ASOMANABO has offered a variety of creative classes for children, including art, science, handicrafts, performance, magic, inquiry-based learning, manga/illustration, and video classes. During this time, we have received many comments from parents such as, "I want to find a class that suits my child," "I want to decide after trying various things," and "I want to nurture their passions." The Art Mix Class, launching this time, is designed to respond to these voices, serving as both a first art experience and an entry point to further learning. Through monthly experiences, the Art Mix Class aims to discover children's budding interests. Each month, unique creators such as manga artists, designers, mural painters, and video directors will serve as instructors, engaging with expressions like art, crafts, video, and science art on different themes.
