Manten Inc. (338 Nakahatacho, Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture) officially launched its children's artwork preservation service "Kids Art" on April 23, 2026. This new service takes children's drawings, crafts, and other works, digitizes them, creates AI animations, produces art collections, and even makes 3D figures. It also offers memorial services (Otakiage) for the artworks upon request.

"Can't throw away. But can't keep." The Problem of Children's Artwork

Children's drawings and crafts are precious memories for families, but as they accumulate with growth, many families struggle with storage and organization.

According to our independent survey (February-March 2026, targeting 64 parents):

* 51% of parents responded that they "felt guilty about letting go of their children's artwork." * Only 17% of parents responded that they "have been able to keep all their children's artwork." * 91% of parents feel that displaying artwork contributes to their child's self-esteem.

This revealed that many families face the dilemma of "can't throw away. But can't keep."

"Kids Art" was developed as a new option to solve this problem.

Simply put your child's drawings and crafts into a special box and send them.

Your Child's Drawings Come to Life as "Animations"

The biggest feature of Kids Art is the AI animation of children's drawings. A sun drawn with crayons shines, and a dinosaur drawn on paper walks, bringing the world drawn by the child to life. The moment families first see the completed video, many exclaim, "Wow, it moved!" This creates new memories as parents and children laugh together while watching the artwork.

Displayable "Artist Book"

We produce an art collection featuring an artist introduction and 30 artworks. Digital data can also be viewed via a QR code.

The cover is made of canvas, so families can display it in their living room and look back on their memories together.

Your Drawings Become Figures

With the premium plan, your child's drawings are made into miniature figures of about 7 cm. There's also the fun of painting the uncolored figures.

After Digitization, Traditional Japanese Otakiage

After digitization, the artworks are offered a free memorial service (Otakiage) by a Buddhist priest, following traditional Japanese custom.

Instead of "discarding" children's artwork, "sending them off with gratitude."

We also value this Japanese culture.
