  • Hideto Noritomi, Japanese Deaf Painter talks about JSL

    December 21st, 2008

    Greetings,

    Hideto Noritomi, a deaf painter from Japan is a professional artist. He is also the father of a deaf son and in his interview with a prominent Japan newspaper, he talks about how he incorporates the concept of sign language into his art. Some years ago, when I was invited to the Japan Deaf Arts and Film Festival, I had the pleasure of meeting him, he is just as he appears. When I saw this article, I knew I had to share it with you. To me, he symbolizes courage and vision.
