March 2012.
These exhibits are available to you completely free of charge,
including round-trip shipping and insurance to and from your museum.
The expenses you would be responsible for include your venue fee,
advertising, security, display cases and the reception with related

Please note that we cannot provide logistical support in terms of
unpacking, displaying, or repacking the crates. Details on the

Unfortunately, Tokyo had given us a very tight deadline by which to
respond, so if you are interested in hosting one of these exhibits,
please contact me as soon as possible by ranking the above exhibits in
order of preference and letting me know your available time frame.
While we cannot guarantee procurement of your first choice as these
exhibits are traveling and need to be coordinated with other museums,
we will do our best to keep your preferences in mind.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me
at w...@cgjapanatlanta.org or 404-926-3022.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Wil Chi
