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.

There are not many people, every project has been brushed again, very happy, the park is not big, the facilities are convenient, there are also carts available, very suitable for small babies to play, we arrived at 10:20, play until the park is closed and do not want to leave, there is a huge slide at the door.

地方大，有海豚表演、逆戟鯨訓練、白鯨訓練、沙甸魚旋風，私家車停車場泊車 max JPY900。但沒有太多地方讓遊客觸摸海洋動物。建議大家到達水族館先去Information Centre，查看活動表演時間，安排行程。

I went at night, and I was in a time-limited attraction during the day. The shrine is open all day, so I went to see it at night. There are no people in the shrine. I saw a few buildings with ancient charm. I also saw a wine association listing various wines, which was very interesting.
