Shake Hands Sanjo Karasuma, a business in Kyoto, Japan that provides employment support for persons with disabilities, has started taking animation production orders, allowing its users to do animation work for popular TV animations. As a result, they were able to increase wages for disabled persons, but as the current wages are still very low for Japanese standards, the public has had mixed reactions to the novel project, some calling it exploitative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by the Mainichi Shimbun<\/a>, 10 people in their 20s and 30s who have mental or developmental disabilities currently attend the employment support facility Shake Hands Sanjo Karasuma, where they work on creating digital animation. They receive both domestic and international orders, and have worked on popular titles such as Chiikawa and Spy x Family.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facility\u2019s idea behind the initiative was reportedly to create a work environment that would allow individuals with disabilities to utilize their unique characteristics, such as attention to detail and creativity, in drawing animation, and to build a bridge between disabled persons and the creative industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CEO of the company commented that, since most employment support facilities of the kind offer simple manual and agricultural work with low wages, he had been searching for a business format that would allow for a higher unit price of work, as well as overseas expansion. While working on projects involving web design and illustration, he noticed that many of the users attending the facility were skilled at drawing, which prompted him to have some of their art evaluated by an anime production company. As a result, the facility was able to receive its first animation orders.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
