The Matsuzakaya Museum of Art will be holding the "Pokémon x Crafts Exhibition -- Great Discoveries of Beauty and Crafts" from Saturday, April 26, 2025 to Sunday, June 15, 2025.
The exhibition will be held at the National Crafts Museum (Ishikawa Prefecture) from March to June 2023, and will feature approximately 80 works that take on Pokémon using a wide variety of craft materials and techniques, and are the result of inspiration, difficulty, and enjoyment.
Afterwards, the work was exhibited at JAPAN HOUSE LOS ANGELES in the US before returning to Japan in triumph, where it was exhibited at the Sagawa Art Museum in Shiga and the MOA Museum of Art in Shizuoka, before being shown at the Azabudai Hills Gallery in Tokyo from November 1st.
The Aichi venue will be the fifth domestic venue for the exhibition. We plan to add new works, and deliver an even more evolved "Pokemon x Crafts Exhibition." Please look forward to it.
[Purpose of the project]
Pokémon x Crafts Exhibition: Great Discoveries of Beauty and Crafts
What kind of chemical reaction would occur if Pokémon and crafts were brought together head-on? Twenty artists, from Living National Treasures to young artists, have taken on this question in earnest. Works that evoke the shapes, gestures and even aura of Pokémon. Works that trace memories from the game, such as evolution, communication, the setting of their journey and highly effective moves. And Pokémon that are drawn to stylish attire, such as vessels that add color to our daily lives, kimonos and obidome. What will the works that await you at the venue do... make you excited, enchanted, grin or give you chills? Enjoy discovering beauty and crafts amplified by the power of multiplication.

Who said there were few people? I entered the park when it opened and left when it closed, and I hadn&#39;t finished playing all the projects. Many projects had to wait in line for half an hour, but it was still fun and I want to go again. The restaurant upstairs from the submarine was delicious and fun. The kids didn&#39;t want to leave after playing there, especially the It&#39;s a Small World, which was so cute and interesting.

It&rsquo;s a fun place to see sea creatures, it was raining the day we went.  So I did not notice if there&rsquo;s a touch area&hellip; that would be fun for the kids.  We had a great time watching dolphins, whale and Beluga show( there&rsquo;s are different shows)

The place itself maintained really well, very historical ￼ architectural building and the outdoor also such a good scenery. ￼Worth a visit when you travel to Nagoya!

We went there at night.
We were rushing to see time-limited attractions during the day.
The shrine is open all day, so we went there at night.
There were not many people in the shrine.
We saw several buildings with ancient charm.
We also saw a wine association listing various wines, which was very interesting.
