What made me different from other children was that my parents were deaf, so I used sign language and drawings to explain daily school events. I would say, &#8220;There&#8217;s \u3007\u3007-kun&#8217;s house here, and there&#8217;s a shrine, and I went there with him and kicked the can.&#8221; <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>When I was a child, I could not explain things well using only sign language, so I used to draw pictures to supplement my sign language.<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI learned it by imitating my parents&#8217; sign language, so my sign language is Nagasaki dialect. Moreover, I am often told that &#8220;Kado-san&#8217;s sign language is old.\u201d That&#8217;s because I learned it from people in the past (laughs).<\/p>\n<p>When I was in elementary school, I had a hard time joining in the lively conversation of my classmates. But I liked drawing pictures, so I would draw pictures of manga that were popular at the time so that everyone could see them (laughs). It was a tool for getting to know each other. I also drew pictures for children who asked for them.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u2015What inspired you to start creating artwork with sign language as a motif?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Kado: When I was 19 years old, there was an old department store in my hometown of Nagasaki. At once all the stalls in front of the department store were removed for renovation work and the street became desolate. The owner of the department store asked me to paint on the wall until the renovation work started, and a designer from the clothing store where I worked introduced me to him. A designer from the clothing store where I worked introduced me to the owner of the department store, who wanted to ask someone to paint on the wall until the renovation work started.I went there every night after work and painted pictures of animals and other things on the 10-meter wide wall.<\/p>\n<p>When I had completed about half of it, my parents started visiting me in the evening with snacks. That&#8217;s when my dad said, &#8220;It would be really nice to meet up with friends in front of this painting.&#8221; And I thought, &#8220;Oh, yeah. It would be interesting to have a picture that would serve as a landmark for deaf people when they meet here.&#8221; So I added a lot of sign language symbols to the pictures, such as &#8220;Hello,&#8221; &#8220;Thank you&#8221; and so on.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2185\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2185\" style=\"width: 1295px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2185 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sports-tokyo-info.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/tokyoforward2025-legacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/e175f1f64d76eda35078ab620ac9c72d.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1295\" height=\"783\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2185\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The World of &#8216;TALKING HANDS&#8217; Spreading to the Interview Room<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>\u2015Is that how your journey into sign language art began?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Kado:That&#8217;s right. Then, a friend who owned a gift shop saw it and said,&#8221;Kado-kun, this artwork is interesting,&#8221; pointing at the sign language drawings. You know how they do these hand movements when rapping, like this? (Demonstrating common rap hand movements). Well, that person thought the sign language drawings were related to rap hand movements (laughs).<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\">I said, &#8220;No, no! These are sign language symbols,&#8221; and explained it to them. They were so moved and said, <strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">&#8220;This is art, but it&#8217;s also a language?! That&#8217;s amazing!&#8221; They wanted to turn these sign language drawings into T-shirts and sell them in their store. So, I created new artwork for the T-shirts, and they sold out immediately.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\">My parents would see people wearing the sign language T-shirts I designed when they were walking around town. It became so popular that my parents were deeply moved. They mentioned that when they were young, using sign language would often attract stares or even mockery. Deaf people didn&#8217;t like using sign language in public, and when they went to stores, they&#8217;d gather at tables away from other customers. They said, &#8220;Reflecting on those times, seeing young people today walking around the city in sign language art shirts is incredible.&#8221; Upon hearing that, <strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">I thought, &#8220;If we blend sign language and illustrations together into pop art, young people will enthusiastically bring sign language art fashion to the heart of the city, to the center of the world, and to the most prominent places.&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/span><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u2015Was the artwork you were creating during that time the starting point for your current artistic style?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Kado: I had been drawing this character&#8217;s face even before I started drawing sign language pictures. I would make rough sketches so that I wouldn&#8217;t forget the picture when it popped into my head, and later I would draw the clothes, add colors, and do a clean sketch. But there was a good friend of mine from elementary school who often came to my house and said, &#8220;Can I have this picture? &#8221; I think he probably has more of my pictures than I do (laughs). He says, &#8220;The rough sketch is better.&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">With rough sketches, you don&#8217;t even know the gender of the characters. That allows the viewer to imagine whatever he or she wants, and to be moved or pleased. I thought it would be more interesting to leave room for the viewer&#8217;s imagination, so I began to make use of rough sketches.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u2015When did you start using bright and colorful colors?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Kado: I began using bright and colorful colors when I was young. I got to know an oil painter who gave me some guidance on painting techniques. However, he had certain rules like &#8220;Professionals don&#8217;t use black&#8221; or &#8220;You have to mix your own paints to create skin tones.&#8221; He would say various things like that. I thought to myself, &#8220;I&#8217;m not a professional, and I don&#8217;t need to adhere to these rules, especially when I want to apply colors based on the characters&#8217; images in my paintings.&#8221; So, I started painting people in shades of yellow, red, and blue. It was a form of rebellion against what he advised. Plus, I&#8217;ve always had a fondness for bright colors, and I believed that everyone should have a good time looking at my artwork.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2190\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2190\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2190 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sports-tokyo-info.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/tokyoforward2025-legacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/kado_01-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"846\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2190\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TALKING HANDS = &#8216;Body Expression&#8217; Infused with Emotions and Thoughts for Others. <br \/>\nCommunication goes beyond words, with endless possibilities.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>What I carry with confidence is a testament to the resilience my parents have shown throughout their lives.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>\u2015What do your parents think of your work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Kado: They are very happy that I use sign language as a motif.

But <strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">I consider my parents being Deaf as part of my personality,<\/span><\/strong> and I talk about them in my interviews.

They are cool and I love them, <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>but the people around me would say things like, &#8220;Poor you,&#8221; &#8220;You are trying so hard,&#8221; or &#8220;The weak are trying so hard,&#8221; or &#8220;You can&#8217;t hear, so you are lower.\u201d<\/strong><\/span> When I was a child, if I felt that people around me were staring at me, I would use sign language to show people around me. Maybe I was sensitive to &#8220;adults who look down on me.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u2015What made you think your parents were so cool?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Kado: My father was the vice president of the Nagasaki Association of the Deaf at the time. So he would give talks on stage, young people would come to listen to him, and people loved him. He was a very generous person, always smiling and saying, &#8220;Wahahaha!\u201d I thought he was cool, even as a child. Whenever a friend of mine came over, he would tell my friends to come over and have a meal.

When communicating with people from various countries, it is impossible to say, &#8220;Let&#8217;s learn both Japanese and foreign languages now.\u201d<br \/>\nFor example, when you meet a Deaf person, there are those who try to communicate with him or her, and there are those who say, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, I don&#8217;t understand&#8230;&#8221; and stop communicating with him or her. <strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">But I think, &#8220;What methods are there for communicating?\u201d<\/span><\/strong> I try various ways, such as written communication, gestures, and mouth movements. <strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">The worst thing is to run away, so I try to minimize that as much as possible.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nWhen making friends, I think, &#8220;If words don&#8217;t work, I&#8217;ll give them a gift,&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;ll play a musical instrument to communicate,&#8221; or, if it were me, &#8220;I&#8217;ll draw a picture to show them\u201d. <strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">I think it would be good if everyone has at least one thing that they can use to convey their feelings through communication other than words, even if they are not good at it.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nNot getting too caught up in culture or language, but leaving each other alone in a good way. I think it would be best if we can do fun things together in a relaxed and carefree manner.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u2015Is that the atmosphere of your live painting and workshops?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Kado: My workshops are fine as long as they are fun. After the workshop is over, the paintings may have an impact on the participants&#8217; lives, but when I am painting, I like to keep it as simple as possible.<br \/>\n\u3000Music, dance, and painting are all inherently free forms of self-expression. If you bring rules into it, it is not free. That is why I try to be as free as possible in my live painting, as long as the situation allows.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">When we want to understand people with disabilities too strongly, we tend to categorize them by saying, &#8220;People with disabilities are like this\u201d.<\/span> <\/strong>This can be a barrier to mutual understanding. It is unfortunate that our good intentions become a barrier. That is why I think it is good for children to have contact with people from all walks of life, including the deaf, people in wheelchairs, foreigners, and others. I think it will expand your world and make you more free.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">I hope that all of the people in the world will accept each other without categorizing, as it is.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sports-tokyo-info.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/tokyoforward2025-legacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fbc2131f6aebb998cbf5e05ad7526f01-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2191\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2191\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2191 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sports-tokyo-info.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/tokyoforward2025-legacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/kado_02-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1719\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2191\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Workshop with Kids: Unleashing Creative Freedom, Drawing what We Love<br \/>\nThe Cardboard Art: Changing Expressions from Different Angles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Hidehiko Kado \/ Born in Nagasaki<\/strong><br \/>\nIllustrator \/ Artist Growing up with deaf parents, Kado-san started drawing at a young age to express emotions and thoughts that couldn&#8217;t be fully conveyed through spoken language or sign language.
