During the Renaissance, art workshops, where artists studied and created their masterpieces, were actively developing in Italy. In Japan, there is such a place as well. It is located in the city of Sagamihara. These are the Fujino Workshop for Art, the unique space where everyone can dip into creativity, enjoy nature and get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The Fujino Workshop for Art is a project which is aimed at developing creativity, helping people to find themselves in art by attempts to make something beautiful and, thus, restore the powers and emotional balance.

They say, that during the War of the Pacific Fujino was inhabited by famous Japanese artists, who were against conflicts, and preferred peace where creativity and love would dominate. This is how the idea of creating a small city that would be smothered into the greenery of forests and where everything would be subordinated to art, free spirit and joy, emerged. This is how the Fujino Workshop for Art appeared.

Nowadays, modern artists' workshops with big windows and lots of light are located there. For those who are fond of playing music, there is a recording studio with professional equipment and a wonderful grand piano. Besides, there is a hall for theatergoers and those who like dancing or make performances.

We must also mention a «sound chest» which is a unique space! All the walls of this room are faced with wooden records. If you pull out one of them, it starts to sound. Even if you do not know the notes, you can make your own music right here, right now.

Every day, artists create, if not masterpieces, then certainly works of art worthy of large public attention.

In this place, there are workshops on woodwork and pottery workshops where you can learn different techniques, including the old clay processing techniques. In other words, everyone can find something they like.

All the rooms are connected by spacious corridors equipped as exhibition galleries. Natural materials are predominantly used in the decoration of all the rooms. Thus, art and nature go hand in hand there.
