Workshops and Events
In addition to shopping, 'Mono to Art' will host a collaborative art workshop on May 17 and 18, where visitors can contribute to a large mural celebrating Kichijoji’s vibrant culture. Participants will have the chance to create their piece of art—the resulting work will be transformed into a limited edition product. This initiative promotes a sense of community while showcasing the symbiosis of art and daily life.
