The event held at WPÜ SHINJUKU aims to explore liberation from conventional values and frameworks through the multifaceted expressions of six artists. Centered around ceramic works such as the object Detachment, the program features live performances by internationally active tattoo artists, a unique tea ceremony integrating sound and ritual, and musical expression through DJ performances. By intertwining these diverse forms of expression, the event seeks to create an experience that transcends language and culture, inviting visitors to discover new perspectives and sensitivities together. 11/23：10:00-20:00 11/24：10:00-17:00 11/25：10:00-18:00
