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.

While a bit far definitely was worth the visit. Had lots of fun for the kids and the rides are nice and not too long in queue.. The rides and environment were all well maintained and pleasing. Definitely will come back again in future.

Port Of Nagoya Public Aquarium

LuCiusWu

Ok, this is a refined Nagoya Port Aquarium review (about 100 words): - - Nagoya Port Aquarium is one of Japan&#39;s top aquariums, with a large scale and distinctive theme. The most shocking thing is its main sink, &quot;Sea of Japan&quot;, the sight of huge whale sharks and fish swimming together is breathtaking. The Penguin and Dolphin Show at the Antarctic Tour is vibrant and interesting to observe up close. The building itself is modern and combines the harbour scenery with the perfect setting for sunset. The content is full and the facilities are perfect. Whether it is a parent-child trip or a couple date, it is very worth a visit. It is a must-visit attraction in Nagoya. ---**Feature concentration:*** **Large scale, prominent theme** (Japan Sea, Antarctic Tour)* **Core highlights**: Giant whale shark sink, penguin pavilion, dolphin show* **Good environment**: modern architecture, port view, sunset beauty* **Good comprehensive experience**: suitable for all kinds of tourists, Complete facilities* **Summary**: Nagoya must visit attractions, highly recommended.

Atsuta-jingu Shrine

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.
