Production Notes
“Art in Hospital,” a lifework of Yoko Yamamoto since 2005, is an initiative that aims to heal the hearts of patients facing illness by installing artworks in hospitals. It also seeks to reduce stress for medical staff and families, thereby enhancing the overall healing effect.
Resonating with Ms. Yamamoto’s initiative, Japanese-style painter Yoichi Nishino, ceramicist Akira Yagi, and stained glass artist Tatsushi Nakano came together to realize this stained glass collaboration.
