I got an invitation card of Art Fair Tokyo this time because I went there last spring. This is their fourth edition. Many domestic and international galleries were gathered. I was looking forward to going the event.
It was interesting because I could see contemporary art and valuable antique together at once. I found an Iranian antique china. The pottery technique was very close to one of Japanese.
「アートフェア東京」に行ってきました。全国の(そして海外の)ギャラリーが一堂に集まるのですが、現代美術も古美術も同じ会場に並べられ、面白いです。
今回の収穫は、わたしは掻落の陶器が好きなのですが、イランの掻落があったことです。中国、朝鮮、日本の掻落は良く見かけますが、それ以西の掻落を見たのは初めてでした。
I went to Art Fair Tokyo as well. I thought that some of the best galleries were in the Tokia section and it was quite far from the main area. Too bad they couldn't put them all together.

I quite agree with you. The two galleries I know well were in the Tokia section. It was difficult to access and I was a little cold there. I hope they will put them together next year.
