In October, the month-long 'Poetry Festival' took place in Kamakura. Toward the end of the festival, at the literary cafe ETHICA on Komachi-dori, we welcomed model Rei Tanaka for a reading,
and hosted an evening of poetry and music titled 'under the Kamakura Moon'.
Re-weaving fragments of that night, this installment of TOKYO MOON, titled 'under the Kamakura Moon – Re-Construction,' featured poetry and music as they intersected and occasionally melted into one another,
creating a one-hour sound journey that whisked us away to somewhere else entirely.
