Another Crespi Cup has now concluded. It was an honor to host world-renowned masters such as Takahiro Kato, Masayuki Fujikawa, and his assistant and wife, Takako Fujikawa. The passion with which collectors, professionals, and amateurs participate in this event grows edition by edition, and we want to thank every one for participating in the competition-exhibition again.
