A colossal elephant, over 4 meters tall and crafted by tupera tupera, makes its appearance! The "You Are Also a Joyful Creature! Exhibition" returns, now enhanced.
NIFREL, the living museum operated by Kaiyukan, is currently hosting a special exhibition, "You Are Also a Joyful Creature! Exhibition," a collaboration with popular picture book creators tupera tupera and the design team minna.
This exhibition, which began on March 6, 2024, centers on the theme of "finding commonalities between oneself and living creatures." It features original works by tupera tupera, interactive elements like card selections to discover these commonalities, a workshop for creating masks by combining "creature parts," and a special photo spot, offering a variety of engaging activities for visitors of all ages.
From March 5, 2025, a new colossal artwork, over 4 meters tall, titled "I Am a Joyful Creature, an Elephant!" will be unveiled, further enhancing the exhibition. The exhibition's run has been extended until January 12, 2026 (Monday, holiday). Experience the evolved "You Are Also a Joyful Creature! Exhibition."
