Conoca
Born in Tokyo in 2011.
A painting she created in kindergarten won an honorable mention at the "World Children's Picture Exhibition." At the age of 9, she established her unique technique called "Tsubu Tsubu Art" (Dot-dot Art), using it to depict numerous endangered species. At 10, she held her first solo exhibition in Azabu Juban, and her order bookings were filled for three years in advance, leading to extensive media coverage. In 2024, she received a special award at the "Showa-kai Exhibition," a prestigious gateway for young artists. She achieved this remarkable feat as the youngest recipient ever, while still in elementary school. This led to her becoming an officially represented artist at "Nichido Gallery," one of Japan's most prominent art galleries. Now a junior high school student, she is actively pursuing her artistic career, holding solo exhibitions in museums and exhibiting at galleries in Paris, establishing herself as a promising artist for the next generation.

ROOTOTE is a brand that offers "fun outings" as its value, with a mission to spread excitement around the world through tote bags and to continue to be a medium that improves society. We met Conoca, who started creating her artwork out of a desire to "protect endangered animals," and decided we wanted to widely share her sensibility and message through tote bags. The brilliant talent of Conoca, a prodigious artist who shines brightly in what she loves, will now spread to the city and the world through her art on tote bags.
