Three art workshops facilitated by three of participating artists in AMABIKI 2013 were launched as cultural exchange events between AMABIKI artists and people living in Sakuragawa, under the auspices of the Lifelong Learning Division of Sakuragawa. Through an appreciation of the artistic process and various ideas of the artists, workshop participants were able to discover a clearer understanding of the proximity of art to everyday life.
