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.

It&#39;s definitely worth a visit. I haven&#39;t been to many theme parks in China, but the lines at every one of them are incredibly long. At Lego Nagoya, the only time I waited longer than ten minutes was because I was stuck with a speed pass. Almost every ride I tried only had a five-minute line.

Don&#39;t be too upset if you can&#39;t get a reservation at this water park. For younger children, Duplo Valley is right at the entrance for water play. Both Squid Surf and Splash Wars involve water play. I recommend doing both water rides in a row, changing clothes afterward to avoid getting wet.

There are plenty of rest areas in the park, so you don&#39;t have to worry about running out of energy. I&#39;ll definitely go again.

There are two buildings, the South Building and the North Building. The South Building has a clear route and no need to go back and forth, so you can see everything. The dolphins in the North Building are lovely. The dolphin show is outdoors and is good, but the time is a bit short and I can&#39;t see enough.

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.
