Ippodo's new year begins with the Flying Birds Exhibition.
This marks the 11th time the event has been held, and during that time several works of art and crafts have been sent out into the global art world.
In the world of sports, Japanese athletes are surprising the world with their success and gaining recognition.
In recent years, the works of Japanese artists have also been gaining attention and respect from around the world.
I am very happy about this.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Ippodo's opening, and the 18th anniversary of Ippodo New York.
Just looking for something beautiful
The energy that things possess and the connections they create
I was able to come this far with strength.
Now, young talented artists are the birds of a feather.
I hope that you will fly freely into the sky, being yourself.
We hope you will also enjoy the "Flying Bird Masters" event starting on January 30th.
Please come and support us at the newly renovated Ginza Ippodo Studio in the new year.
Japan Cha Cha Cha!
