Hello! I'm Tokunaga, a member of the Moripass Club. Starting today, we at the Moripass Club will also be writing this blog.
This time, we would like to announce the first event to be held as part of Moripass Club's activities!
The event is called "Workshop & Talk Show: Jiyujizai."
Our guests will be graphic designer Daijiro Ohara and art artist Kohei Sekigawa!
