A gallery talk will be held in conjunction with the Rieko Yura exhibition.
This will be a talk session between Yura Rieko, a ceramic artist active in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, and Touko's CEO, Tsukamoto Michiyuki.
At the ongoing Yura Rieko exhibition, we will talk to her about her work and her commitment to expression, with her works in front of us.
