Since anyone can draw it, many children and elderly people enjoy it. Can you even revitalize your brain with scratch art, which has a reputation for improving your autonomic nervous system and calming your mind? and Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, Director of the Institute of Aging Medicine at Tohoku University, developed the Brain Activity Scratch Series.

(Words of Supervision)
The brain is activated by manual work while imagining it's done.

The prefrontal cortex, located in the frontal lobe of the brain, is the most important part of the highly functional brain for human life. Experiments such as examining blood flow in the brain have revealed that sutras drawn by tracing sutras, coloring books prepared by devising ways of painting, and tracing pictures drawn by tracing underdrawings activate the prefrontal cortex. What they all have in common is that they move their hands in the image of being finished. This is an important factor in activating the prefrontal cortex.
Scratch art is also finished by tracing and scraping the preliminary sketch while imagining the finished work. It's filled with elements that can activate the brain.
Basically, you trace a preliminary sketch and scrape it to finish it. In addition, there are examples of how to scrape, such as a pattern to scrape a surface to add a pattern, or a pattern to add a picture or a letter to finish it, so please think and imagine how to finish it.

The charm of scratch art is that even a person with no drawing mind can create wonderful art works. Don't push yourself too hard, and keep your brain active by grinding little by little. You can activate your brain more effectively by engaging in fun and positive activities.
