From the viewers, "I felt the power," "I was nailed to my eyes," "I was happy," "I was encouraged," "Healed," "I was deeply struck," and "My heart was purified." We have received many impressions, such as "I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for having such a rich time."

So, since has released a gallery talk by online by the responsible curator, please take a look.
