The exhibition POKÉMON X KOGEI: PLAYFUL ENCOUNTERS OF POKÉMON AND JAPANESE CRAFT will be held at the Matsuzakaya Museum (7th floor, South Building of Matsuzakaya Nagoya Store) from April 26 to June 15.

This special showcase explores the captivating intersection of Pokémon and Japanese craft, bringing to life the question: "What kind of chemistry would occur if Pokémon met traditional craft head-on?" Twenty artists, ranging from Living National Treasures to promising young talents, have taken on this challenge with utmost seriousness. Their works vividly capture the forms, gestures, and very presence of Pokémon.

Visitors can enjoy pieces that trace memories from the Pokémon games, including the themes of evolution, trading, adventurous landscapes, and powerful moves. Additionally, the exhibition features items that color everyday life—such as exquisite vessels, kimonos, and decorative accessories—adorned with Pokémon designs. This is a unique opportunity to discover new dimensions of beauty and craftsmanship inspired by the Pokémon universe.
