“September JAM,” a multidisciplinary arts event held in Inawashiro Town, Fukushima Prefecture, is a collaboration between Kaze to Rock Imoni-kai and Ohara☆Break.
It has been announced that NON will be joining this event.
For NON, this art exhibition marks a return to a venue with which she has a special connection, having performed at Ohara☆Break numerous times in the past.
The exhibition begins on Monday, September 21 (a national holiday). NON’s ribbon art will be displayed at the “Former Yamauchi Family Residence,” a historic traditional house built in Bunka 8 (1811) that still retains its thatched roof.
The exhibition will feature ribbon artworks created in collaboration with traditional Tohoku crafts, allowing visitors to enjoy a unique world where the mysterious and the cute intertwine.
