eitoeiko presents a group show by eleven students of Musashino Art University printmaking course. The
lecturer is Takahiro Nagasawa, one of the most popular 'Baseball' artists in Japan today. Based on the story‘The Bad News Bears’, Nagasawa became coach of the team. And he attempts to lead them to the right way.

Students lack experience to be seen his or her artwork. This show will be an exercise for them. Students try
something every day and it still has a room for argument, therefore they have a possibility for future.
It is impossible that an artist grows up without the viewers those who see his or her artwork. Please come tosee the show and talk your opinion to the young artist. I believe that looking forward to rising up the young
artist is good for the sake of understanding what the art is.
Takahiro Nagasawa
