Festive art fills every corner of the room, and it was all improvised by the artist. She can't make the same thing twice. This program introduces artists from across Japan for whom expression is not a choice, but a compulsion. Not influenced by existing art or trends, nor by education, these artists and their works are gaining worldwide recognition. Devoted to creation, not for anyone else or even for themselves, they have a powerful presence. This episode features Saito Satoko (81) who lives in Kanagawa Prefecture. The program delves into her creative process and attempts to capture her unique form of expression.
