ARTEXPO in New York

We have par­tic­i­pated in ARTEXPO in New York, the world’s largest exhi­bi­tion from March 2nd through 6th, 2006. The High-definition repro­duc­tions and gold leaf appli­ca­tion demon­stra­tion were highly acclaimed among the vis­i­tors. It was cov­ered in var­i­ous media in the world includ­ing the New York Times, which reflected the grow­ing inter­ests in the Japan­ese Cul­tural Trea­sures. The recep­tion was held on March 1st, prior to the EXPO, at the Japan Soci­ety. Many cul­tural fig­ures and celebri­ties gath­ered includ­ing guests from New York City and the Met­ro­pol­i­tan Museum of Art, to pro­mote cul­tural exchange among countries.
