02/24, Arts Culture Tourism from Tokyo

A Japanese startup has announced its plans to launch a commercial space viewing balloon. The National Breakdance Championships took place last Sunday at Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo. While a metal ball measuring 1 and-a-half meters in diameter has been found washed up on a Pacific coast beach, yet no can agree on what it is. And with all this flotsam and jetsam in mind, here is a round-up of recent art exhibitions that are either drawing to a close or about to start, at RootK Contemporary, Goya Curtain, Fig., Hagiwara Projects, Talion Gallery and Mizuma Art Gallery.
