Agency for Cultural Affairs Secretary Tsukura "I hope you can concentrate on your activities as soon as possible"
Shunichi Tokura, the Commissioner for Cultural Affairs, who visited the venue, said, "Although inoculation of occupational areas is progressing in organizations such as large companies, most of the artists are working alone and have not been able to receive it until now.
