After the sensational success of "Botteghe di Tokyo", and "Fantasmi & Spiriti del Giappone", which attracted more than 200,000 visitors who were also lovers of Japanese art and culture, TENOHA MILANO and L'Ippocampo Edizioni are creating a new immersive exhibition: Stories of Samurai Women.

TENOHA MILANO
