"'Ham Cybele – Century Banquet,' at the 'Asagaya Loft A' event space in the Suginami Ward of Tokyo. 'Century' in Japanese is a homophone for the Japanese word for 'genitals'; 'Ham Cybele' refers to the Anatolian mother goddess, prefixed with an appropriate word for tough meat to create a phrase whose initials match Sugiyama’s artist name of HC."
