Aichi Toho University in Nagoya is hosting the World Children's Painting Exhibition in the L building in Heiwagaoka in Meito Ward until March 11.
Focusing on child development, the exhibition uses paintings from 40 countries to showcase the different phases and emotional stages a child goes when growing up, showing how their similarities defy borders.
The free show was planned and organized by 15 freshmen enrolled in the faculty of child development who approached the Biiku Bunka Kyokai (Foundation of Art Education in Japan), which organized the first Sekai Jidoga Ten (International Children's Art Exhibition) sponsored by stationery maker Pentel at the 1970 Japan World Exposition in Osaka.
