Abstract
Although researchers have suggested that consumer art can help reduce the stigma of mental illness, there is little evidence of the attitudes of the Japanese public towards such artwork. A total of 277 Japanese visitors attending an exhibition of visual arts by people with mental illness completed a short questionnaire. After their visit, approximately 87% of the participants reported being strongly or fairly impressed by the creative art. Word frequency analysis implied generally positive attitudes towards the works. The Japanese public might generally have positive and empathetic attitudes towards artwork by people with mental illness.
