Summer is not over yet. We are anxious to see that store in Komazawa and the festival by photographer Kusuhei Akagi.

With the summer Koshien tournament having come to a close with Keio winning the championship for the first time in 107 years, one can't help but feel that summer is almost over.

To be honest, it may seem like they have little or no connection, but Onodera-san, the director of Maple and owner of Slow Tempo, and Kusuhei Akagi used to play basketball together when they were in elementary and junior high school. Kusuhei Akagi stopped by "Slow Tempo" on a whim and asked the owner if it had been a few years or a decade since he had been there. It had been several years, or maybe ten years, since their last meeting. The "Endorse Summer Festival with Kusuhei Akagi" was born out of this reunion, and the decision was quickly made.

The contents of the festival include an exhibition and sale of works by Kusuhei Akagi, a sale of "ARTed," a coined word combining the words "ART" and "used," in which new designs are incorporated into vintage clothing, and a goldfish scooping game where you can win a photograph of a goldfish. You can even get your own photo with a goldfish scooping game.

In addition, visitors will have their portraits taken with "Zenzen," Akagi Kusuhei's signature multiple-exposure photography technique, and will receive the finished works as gifts at a later date. We hope that visitors will experience the fun of analog photography, which is not a scheduled event.

Why don't you go to "Endorsu Summer Festival with Kusuhei Akagi" where you can feel art + α with all your might, and create your best summer memories?
