Nishitetsu Hall / TIEMPO HALL
In 1998, one year after TIEMPO, the festival organizer, began its activities in Yakuin, the only Argentine restaurant in Fukuoka, "Porteño," opened in the same neighborhood.
Since its opening, it has been a beloved restaurant for many people, offering delicious homemade Argentine dishes, following the recipes of her late husband, Mario, who was of Argentine origin. Its cozy atmosphere is decorated with the beautiful illustrations of his wife, KURA.
Since the early days of TIEMPO, KURA has contributed her artwork to various of our events.
This year, to commemorate the 10th edition of the Sakura Tango Festival, we have invited KURA as the main artist to present an exhibition of her tango-inspired illustrations in the milonga space.
Enjoy these wonderful pieces that reflect KURA’s unique vision, with her distinctive use of color and unmistakable style.
