Exhibition Period:2024年10月19日 - 2024年11月04日

Naha has been chosen as the third city for graphic designer Kitayama Masakazu's solo exhibition, TYPOGRAFFITI 4, following Tokyo and Osaka.
The exhibition will be held simultaneously at two locations: YAMADA COFFEE OKINAWA chapteR, a coffee stand in Tomari, Naha City, and GALLERY 9.5 NAHA at Hotel Anteroom Naha.
The theme is OURS, and the works on display were chosen with consideration for the people, history, and future of Okinawa.
With planning cooperation from Fukuoka gallery "other," the two venues each have their own unique display styles, and the merchandise on sale will change at each location.
The exhibition will be held for a short period of about two weeks, but we hope you can time it right to visit both locations.
