Cytodiagnosis Experience Workshop Application

The Japanese Society of Clinical Cytology (Society Secretariat: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Eiichi Morii; hereinafter "the Society") will hold "Cell Art Cruise in YOKOHAMA" (https://saibouart.jp/) at Pacifico Yokohama North 3F G303/G304 in Yokohama, Kanagawa, on Sunday, June 14, 2026, to help people understand cells and cytodiagnosis in an enjoyable way.

Since its first holding in 2024, this project has attracted over 300 elementary to high school students. While it has traditionally been operated by lottery, we want more people to participate, so this time, with some exceptions, it will be reborn as an art event open to everyone.

In addition, with replicated original drawings from the popular anime 'Cells at Work!', you are sure to discover something new about cytodiagnosis.
