Our History

The ICO of today began as Japan Creators' Association. JCA was established in 1962, under the leadership of Mr. Norio Mochizuki, Executive Director.
JCA was created as a cooperative organization to help talented artists promote their works to the professional business world. JCA acted as an international publisher and art agency in the fields of fine art, illustration, photography, graphic art and package design.

As the business world began to expand and evolve internationally JCA changed and grew also.
Their vision expanded to include meeting the needs and opportunities of a new global marketplace. In 1980 Japan Creators' Association became the newly formed International Creators' Organization, with headquarters in Japan.
