PAPER TOYOTA Closing
PAPER TOYOTA was successfully closed on December 5th.
Many PAPER TOYOTA events were actually carried out with strict measures in place against COVID-19. The works everyone submitted were exhibited as scheduled at the IAPMA International Paper Art Exhibition, at three facilities in Toyota City.
The number of infected people in Japan fortunately decreased over that time period, and many visitors came and gave praise.
The IAPMA Congress was held online in cooperation with IAPMA (International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists) and was attended by people from all over the world.
The top Japanese creators active in the world of paper were invited to a symposium that was actually held after taking measures against COVID-19.
It turned into a meaningful presentation and discussion, and it was well received.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated from Toyota City and around the world, and to all those who supported the event.
