HENNGE Collaborates with HERALBONY on the Creation of an Artwork to Express Its Mission, Liberation of Technology2024.03.06
HERALBONY is a company that unites art and welfare under the Mission "Radiate Your Color." It manages the license of 2000+ art data by artists from Japan and abroad, especially those with intellectual disabilities, to develop various businesses. As an equal business partner, not a helper, of the artists, it facilitates projects with respect for each of them and operates a scheme enabling fair payments.
HENNGE's strength includes its diversity of internal culture. English is its official language for internal communication, and international employees account for 20% of its workforce. Based on the action policy of respecting differences, it is usual for its employees to respect the thoughts and ideas of others and value diversity.
The collaboration project incarnates empathy with the beauty created by the conspicuous artists and the endorsement of HENNGE on HERALBONY's business model, which provides sustainable revenue to artists with disability by fair license agreements.
This collaboration project aims to encourage employees to act on the mission of the Liberation of Technology by illustrating it in a unique artwork.
Mr. Satoru Kobayashi, a contracted artist of HERALBONY belonging to Runbini Museum, has the style to create artwork by connecting multiple characters. His work for HENNGE expresses "Liberate Technology to make the better world" in a simple monochrome way, which is common in the style with the logo of HENNGE.
HENNGE will continue to express its mission, Liberation of Technology, via collaborations with various artists.
■ About Mr. Satoru Kobayashi
In junior high school for people with disabilities, he began modifying every letter with his own rules. People around him got confused by his letters and tried to correct them at first, but some teachers regarded them as his unique way of expression and supported his creation, which grew into artwork that provided joy for many people.
His beloved musicians include Billy Joel, Spitz, and Yosui Inoue. He tries to communicate with people by asking them to scratch his back.
