Kado Hidehiko Profile As a “coda” with hearing-impaired parents, she has been familiar with sign language and deaf culture since childhood. She expresses feelings that cannot be conveyed through spoken or sign language alone through her artwork. Her works, which use sign language as a motif, are called “sign language art.” Currently, under the concept of “TALKING HANDS,” she continues to promote the importance of communication that does not rely too heavily on words.
