For this exhibition, three new characters have been added, showcasing a total of 19 pieces born from Harada's refined sensibility.
On Tuesday, October 8th, a talk event with Tadao Harada will be held, featuring guests Toru Koike, a photographer active in the fashion and beauty fields, and Tsuyoshi Takahashi, a stylist.
