The INAMORI Art Project Group of Japan, was established in 2010 by Ms. Noriko Inamori a Japanese housewife with a progressive and incurable disease, (Striatonigral Degeneration, her medical condition is like Parkinson and progresses quickly). Her vision, before she died, was to develop a group of creative artists to deliver her message "I promised myself not to waste my limited time anymore. I questioned myself about what I should use my limited time for and the answer was to devote myself to building a peaceful and safe future for children of the world."
The INAMORI Art Project Group is composed of 40+ creative Japanese performing artists including musicians, dancers, taeko drummers and actors who have appeared throughout Japan, Geneva Switzerland, Georgia, Eurasia region, United Nations and in Harlem churches, cultural institutions and colleges.
