TOKYO -- The names of Kate Thomson and Hironori Katagiri may be unfamiliar to most Tokyoites. But their work, increasingly, is not. The husband-and-wife team are among a growing body of artists bringing sculpture to the streets and public spaces of Japan’s capital.
In a recent commission, they have each produced a piece for Park Court Akasaka Hinokicho The Tower, a residential skyscraper in the upmarket Akasaka district.
