Comments from the Winners
We are very pleased to have been selected for the Terrace Art Shonan AWARD 2024. This work, with its family restaurant motif, explores the theme of the "casualness" of the symbolized suburbs and the Shonan region, which has roots in America.
The exhibition of the award-winning works will be held starting October 4, 2024, and we would be delighted if you could visit. Upon receiving this award, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone in our laboratory for their guidance and to all those involved. Thank you very much.
