It’s hot and very sunny in Itoshima! If only all this sunlight could be turned into electricity…
So, we installed solar panels on the second residence house! All further artists will be welcomed by ecologic energy.

When one firsts comes to Studio Kura from Fukuoka Airport or from JR Hakata Station, the recommended means is by train. Riding the subway is not too hard, and the train will take you to Ikisan Station, a 20 minute walk to Studio Kura. Most of this is explained on our guide from the Airport and our guide from Hakata, but here we will focus on the art of using the trains.
Hiro made sliding doors for the atelier at Residence House 1.
