Here is a quote from one of our audience, Zhixing Fei: 

I had the pleasure to attend Tiange and I-Yang’s lecture and event in Boston Seaport and was deeply impressed by their innovative ideas and results! Unlike anything I’ve seen before, their wagashi—aJapanese dessert— ACTUALLY manifested all the images and information they intended to. The concept could seem obscure at the first glance, but I strongly recommend anyone interested in new art forms and mediums to check out their work, or even better, join an in-person session, where you’d get to taste their Wagashi!
