The artist, Ms. Honma of Kyun-Chome, was invited to give a talk under the title, “Beyond Off-Limits”.  She mentioned that many of her works created after the Great East Japan Earthquake are at times rather radical and have been met with mixed reception, but she went through each piece, one by one, to explain her thoughts in creating the works.  It was an inspiring talk that gave some hints to the question “What is the role of art after an earthquake disaster?” that the students are always asking themselves.  (Akagi)
