Interview with Ms. Ogino Sana from KAMOI KAKOSHI

I spoke with Ms. Ogino Sana from KAMOI KAKOSHI about the charm and highlights of "mt ex at Aimi Akarenkakan 2026," which is decorated with the latest tape art in a historic red brick space.

This year (2026) marks the fourth consecutive year of holding the event at Ivy Square. Why do you continue to hold it at this location?

Ogino (no honorifics)

We want to create new added value by incorporating tape art into the historic townscape of Kurashiki.

Our company values the perspective of "renovation," which transforms historic buildings into new gathering places, and I feel that Kurashiki Ivy Square has a very significant charm.

What are the highlights of this event?

Ogino

This year, we are focusing on "tape art."
In particular, I would like you to pay attention to the stunning art exhibition by artist Ishimura Yoshinari.

Additionally, we will showcase tape art created by domestic and international artists in the past, allowing visitors to fully experience the diversity of expression with masking tape.

In addition to the art exhibition, we have also prepared limited products. We are offering 10 types of mt exclusive to the venue and 5 types of limited design badges.

These are special designs that can only be obtained here, so please take a look at them.

Finally, please give a message to the readers who will be visiting.

Ogino
