Using an extra fine point pen, the Japanese artist Aju creates stunning drawings of Tokyo landscapes and other big cities. The scenes are so vividly engrained in her mind that she doesn't even make preliminary sketches. Aju was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome when she was 22 years old. She didn't feel there was any place for her, at school or home, and she felt she wanted to die. Her art and her talent saved her. Follow this young artist on her journey as she finds new possibilities.
