Based on the theme of "Stuffed toys are a form of memory," this exhibition is an attempt by three contemporary artists, Koichiro Tada, Akina Tokiyoshi, and Mioka Matsuura, to reinterpret, in their own ways, the fundamental sensations that Monchhichi has fostered in people, such as affection, security, memory, and touch. Through a variety of media, including sculpture, drawing, and installation, Monchhichi as a "being close by" is visualized as art, offering visitors a new encounter.
Additionally, we will be collaborating with contemporary artist Ken Kagami, who was born in 1974, the same year as Monchhichi, to produce and release a Monchhichi exclusive MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL.
