Traveling exhibition
From February 27 to March 5, 2012, the exhibition will be held at the Centre Georges, Pompidou National Museum of Modern Art in Paris, France Later it will move to Budapest, Hungary.
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.
The schedule and details of this event are subject to change.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
