Business Overview
As part of the Art Market held in New York, USA, I was invited to participate in a showcase organized by the Japan Society, a window for introducing Japanese culture to the United States. Due to the spread of the omicron variant of COVID-19, travel to Japan was canceled, and the participants only participated via video, but they were able to show the current state of Japanese dance to the world.
