100BANCH is a future creation base opened in Shibuya in 2017 to commemorate Panasonic’s 100th anniversary. We aim to create new value that will lead to the next 100 years together with the young generation who will lead the future, and we will be celebrating our 7th anniversary on July 7th of this year.
Our core program, the GARAGE Program, provides accelerated support for project teams working towards the future they aim for, with mentoring from top runners in each field and the location of their activities. There have been over 1,000 entries so far, and 325 projects have been selected. Many members have made great strides through their activities at 100BANCH and are now innovation leaders representing Japan.
The main visual for “Nana Nana Festival 2024” was realized in collaboration with Heralbony Co., Ltd., one of such teams. Heralbony is an art agency that creates a new culture together with unique artists, with the mission of “Unleash your uniqueness.” Currently, we manage licenses for more than 2,000 pieces of art data drawn by domestic and international artists, mainly those with intellectual disabilities, and are expanding this into a variety of businesses. Joined 100BANCH in February 2018 as a 7th generation member of the GARAGE Program. For about two years since its founding, 100BANCH was based in Tokyo.

About the main visual
The theme of 100BANCH’s “Nana Nana Festival 2024”, which will celebrate its 7th anniversary on July 7th, is “A festival that is just as engaging.”
This time’s main visual represents the “brightness”, “dance-like speed”, and “surging impulse” that 100BANCH itself has, and shows how many ideas are born as many people intersect, mix, and sometimes collide. This was chosen based on the desire of everyone at Heralbony to create something that evokes a feeling.

Born in 1996 and lives in Shiga Prefecture. Belongs to “Yamanami Kobo” since 2015. She loves interacting with people, and is always playing with words, joking, and playing pranks, and is always smiling every day. Her creative activities are also an extension of this. Dropping paint on drawing paper, rolling marbles, and tracing with a brush. It may be a kind of prank, not to draw a good picture, but to have fun seeing how people around you react by doing it. The more she enjoys those around her, the more her creative desire increases. The completed work will be something very mysterious, with a gentleness and strength like her smile.

Heralbony is an art agency that creates a new culture together with unique artists, with the mission of “Unleash your uniqueness.” We manage the licenses of more than 2,000 pieces of art data drawn by domestic and international artists, mainly those with intellectual disabilities, and are developing them into a variety of businesses. Rather than providing support, we work as equal business partners, respecting the artist’s wishes while proceeding with the project, and building a system to pay them fair royalties. In addition to HERALBONY, a brand that uses art to transform society, we also have an account business that supports corporate DE&I promotion through the planning and production of products and spaces, creative production that accurately conveys initiatives, and employee training programs, and challenges new “common sense”. We are developing a multifaceted business, including an art business that operates Morioka’s art gallery “HERALBONY GALLERY.” By delivering “distinctness” to society in various forms, we aim to change the image of “disability” and create a society where 8 billion people with unique characteristics can live as they are.
