The exhibition date is approaching. I've been very busy with production activities and studio layout.

Mr. Tanaka has been very busy with his production activities and studio layout.

The work, which was a challenge in many ways, was finally completed today.

June 8th and 9th will be the last day of the exhibition.

I believe that June 8 and 9 will be a place for Mr. Tanaka to recharge his energy to keep on drawing.
