UENOYES
Centering around the UENO Cultural Park and the surrounding area, we will offer various cultural programs based on the concept of UENOYES and communicate our messages to the world through these activities.
Concept
UENOYES is where you can see each color of everyone, one by one, just as they are.
Your color will never be visible if blended with the color next to you.
Your color will not be lumped together with other colors however similar they may appear.
UENOYES unconditionally embraces each one of you in your true color.
