Yoko Amano, the Art Conservator

Have you ever visited an art museum and found yourself wondering “How is it that a painting created hundreds of years ago is still beautifully displayed today?” Behind the scenes, there are unsung professionals hard at work. Age-related deterioration, natural disasters, human error—a job dedicated to saving art from all manner of hardships. That’s the “painting restorer”!

From da Vinci, Monet, and Bouguereau to Pollock… she works on a wide range of artworks, from classical to contemporary. Today, too, challenging and mysterious requests are pouring in for Youko Amano, a young painting restorer! An art-meets-medicine drama that saves both masterpieces and people’s hearts!
