Miho Okada ("Miporin") was diagnosed with brain cancer at age twelve, and passed away a year later. During her 14-month stay in the hospital, she created 359 letters with painted illustrations. The letters, which were once featured on a documentary program, have encouraged many people in Japan because of its humor and positivity. The exhibition will feature Miporin's letters, paintings, photographs and other possessions.
