Japanese Art Brut: A Still-Developing Phenomenon with a Distinctive Character of Its Own

Momoka Imura is an artist who is devoted to sewing buttons. As soon as she arrives at the Atelier in the morning, she chooses the cloth she likes, and sews all kinds of buttons all over it. After that, she rolls up the cloth, makes a ball with it, then picks up another cloth that she covers with buttons as well, and wraps it around the first one. She repeats this process,
covering the ball with each new cloth and changing its color until she is satisfied with the result. She is deeply attached to her artworks, expressing her fondness for them by stroking them and gazing at them. She sometimes balances one of her works on her head and walks around, singing cheerfully and has also been known to adopt the persona of a children's TV host, complete with pink wig, singing and dancing while she works.
