Studio Visit Michael Frank

Event

ZEN＆ART Tourism KAMAKURA
Nowadays, “Japanese art,” “food,” and “local charm” are attracting visitors.
Among them, the artist who lives there becomes a trigger.
A fusion of ZEN culture and contemporary art where you can visit an artist’s studio and experience the roots of Kamakura.
We need to learn things that only artists are aware of.
It’s the only journey I’ll make with you. A new style of travel begins now.
