Azabu Atelier was established in 2018 by Koichi Matsuda with the goal of providing children who love draw with basic art skills. Kids learn about art tools, materials and techniques while developing their drawing ability and sense of colour, expressiveness and design. Teachers in the cooperative are all active illustrators and painters in their own right, dedicated to teaching children the basics of their respective art fields while fostering a sense of individuality and creativity in young people.
