Now that Japanese manga are getting more and more attention overseas, we are often invited to exhibit abroad. Until now, many authors feared that their art might get damaged or lost when shipped to overseas locations. The Genga' (Dash) project has helped to solve this problem. We would like to continue exhibiting abroad.

Please visit this site to see the exhibition in the Kinokuniya Gallery in Shinjuku, Tokyo, held between August 20 and 29, 2011.
