Despite the somewhat oppressive summer heat, a total of 25 members participated. Director of the Yokohama Museum of Art, Osaka Eriko, arrived to greet the members as the doors of the museum were opening. Before viewing the exhibition, the members received a lecture from the museum curator, in order to develop their understanding of what they were going to see and then took a walk around the exhibition venues: Yokohama Museum of Art and Shinko Pier Exhibition Hall.
