Youkobo Art Space from April 2023

Youkobo Art Space will have three studios, each of which will begin operating independently. In addition, the residency program, which has continued for over 30 years, will cease for the time being.
We would like to thank you for your continued support and look forward to your continued patronage after the renewal.
