★A modern artist reinterprets the national treasure "The Picture Book of Birds and Animals," which is popular among the nation.
This work, which is said to be the root of Japanese manga, throws new messages and humor at us ★ You're sure to find one that you like…
Japanese people are good at anthropomorphizing animals, food, and other things to have fun with.
Human feelings and the subtleties of the heart
Imagination and creativity expressed through animals, food, etc.
Beyond that, there is friendship, love, mutual help, and empathy
We have the power to laugh and encourage each other.
The Japanese sensibility that has been cultivated is expressed through the categories of [subculture] and [manga].
Before you know it, you will have learned about the joy of living, humor, culture, and how to deal with emotions.
Because we are spreading the message of respect to others to the world,
Isn't it capturing people's hearts?
The numerous "Choriyama Giga" works were created by artists across a range of genres, including Japanese painters, illustrators, paper cutting artists, and even Yoshimoto comedians, each of whom poured their own ideas into the creation of these works.
It was an exhibition that offered unprecedented surprises and a sense of playfulness .
Please take this opportunity to enjoy the new "Chōju-giga."
