Join exhibition director Igarashi Tarō to find out more about the exhibition ‘Windowology: New Architectural Views from Japan'  which runs until 10 April 2022 at Japan House London.

Windowology is a research project launched by the Tokyo-based Window Research Institute based on the belief that ‘windows represent civilization and culture’.

This live event moderated by Japan House London Programming Director Simon Wright presents the opportunity for viewers to discover behind-the-scenes insights into the planning of the exhibition and ask questions directly to Igarashi Tarō.
