In Tokyo, we make use of temporary walls of construction site developed in downtown and create attractive space by art and promote culture project "TOKYO CITY CANVAS" bringing about new scenery of city (we say "TCC" as follows).

Through art, we will realize town planning to breathe if diversity is natural from now on.
