This event is very special for me, since everything started with my lucky encounter with Mr. Mitabi Kobayashi, who is an excellent documentary film artist. Then I met these leading artists, Musubi Aoki & Ryosuke Uehara, along with Nanako Koyama, and Maho-no efude, not to mention the talented photographer, Takayasu Hattori who has been regularly taking MOPA's photographs of late.
I myself is keen to see what these artists have done using Odiya material...
