Furthermore, a global financial institution, BNP Parisbas group, provided financial support and incorporate social action program. The art work "Cœur resonant (Resonant Heart)" was completed in Tokushima Red Cross Hospital, including 220 small hearts on film sheets from 145 collaborators. The entire making process was supervised using online system. Current approach suggests new method for many people to participate in hospital art.
