Our Sparks.
“Wind Carrying Light" by Syuro
Wacom's Social Initiatives are driven by the sparks ignited by our team members, which is the reason why we work at Wacom. Since starting this initiative three years ago, we have noticed that our team members’ sparks are felt by those who work together with Wacom, whether it be our customers, partners, or communities. Your sparks are also what keep us motivated and help us seek out new challenges.
In the "Our Sparks." pages, we introduced the works created by our team members with the theme of their sparks. This time around, we would like to introduce two artworks by artists in Oiso Town, Kanagawa, Japan, where we have been working together to support the writing/drawing initiative.
The theme is "the charm of Oiso Town”. Their thoughts about the town and their passion for drawing, which is expressed through the artwork, have something in common with our team members’ sparks.
Here is the first piece, "Wind Carrying Light” by Syuro.
