In July 2010, Centre for Children's Book Studies (CCBS) founding member Martin Salisbury attended the five-day Summer Picturebook workshop at the Itabashi Art Museum as invited presenter. The museum has worked closely for a number of years with the Bologna Children's Book Fair, bringing the selected Bologna illustration exhibition to the museum each summer.

Workshop organiser, Kiyoko Matsuoka developed the project some twenty years ago and has since invited illustrators, publishers and educators from around the world. Twenty-three students were selected from over sixty applicants and each developed a picturebook dummy and sample artwork over the intensive week's work. The workshop culminated with a group critique and a public lecture on picturebook art from Salisbury at the museum.
