Transforming Roppongi into a big playground” was the theme I came up with for this year’s Roppongi Art Night. All of us remember the great fun of running around, throwing things, or competing with each other in various games as kids in backyards or in school playgrounds. This is probably where we all start with sports. Therefore, it will be a fitting event theme for Tokyo which is going to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020. This year, art and performances from around the world will create an enjoyable place for everyone !
