LONDON, ENGLAND.- “Tasty Tit-Bits of Contemporary Art” Summer Sushi is Gallery Yujiro's first summer exhibition featuring five Yujiro artists and one guest artist. Sushi is an English word that has come to refer to a complete dish with rice and toppings. The original Japanese term, however, means snack and refers to rice, but not with fish or other toppings.
