ATAMI, Shizuoka -- Works by 12 living national treasures are back in Japan from a temporary showing overseas for a special exhibition at the MOA Museum of Art in Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture. The exhibition "Homo Faber, 12 Stone Garden: Fukasawa Naoto and 12 Living National Treasures" opened at the museum on Friday.
