The exhibition represents all the works created by children through CAT's art projects.  In this exhibition, the CAT artists created the exhibition for themselves to enjoy. The children, ranging in age from 6 to 17, worked independently and collaboratively on these artworks alongside the artist, Umetsu. They were provided the same materials that the artist was using: clay, glaze, paper, and paints. It is noteworthy that no explanations or instructions were given to the children by the artist, the organizers, or any other adults, in keeping with the important mission of CAT, which is to honor the independence and leadership of children. In this exhibition, both Umetsu’s works and the children's works are displayed together without any separation.
