Looking Back at Design Festa 2007
Every year, Tokyo Big Sight is filled with hundreds of young artists hoping to catch the attention of gallery owners and collectors: a forum of creativity in which there really is something for everybody.

Nice drawings! This is exactly how I remember my first Design Festa a few years ago.
I heard this corny saying about Mt. Fuji, “Everyone should climb it once, but only a fool would climb it twice.”
I think you can say the same about attending Design Festa, though I can understand why people with specific interests or at a certain time in their studies/career would enjoy going every year.
