CONTENST 01: The Auspicious DARUMA
For the very first project of the 2024 new year, we present original DARUMA works newly created by our artists.
Artists who normally create and exhibit work in their own distinctive styles have specially incorporated the motif of the DARUMA into newly created original pieces, which will be exhibited and offered for sale.
These original works include not only two-dimensional pieces but also three-dimensional ones, so please enjoy the collaboration of your favorite work × DARUMA and welcome a new year filled with good fortune!
