What is "Pen Gyo Exhibition"?

This is an exhibition of "healing" artworks based on the theme of two contrasting creatures: penguins, which swim lightly in the sea, and goldfish, which dance gracefully and slowly in the water. Although they live in different environments, both creatures bring a sense of relaxation and coolness to the hearts of those who see them.

With the arrival of summer in full swing, a collection of cool and relaxing works of art will be gathered together. Through photographs and artwork, the exhibition will present a unique worldview that blends the dynamism of penguins with the elegance of goldfish, capturing fleeting moments of beauty and the rich expressions of these creatures that the naked eye misses. The exhibition will offer visitors new discoveries and impressions.

The exhibition will be decorated by "Koki Shinoda (@kokishnd)," who has more than 12,000 followers on SNS, with his photographs of unique penguins from all over the world. Yuuki Nakatsuhara (@goldfish_yuki) will show his new works featuring a variety of goldfish, including the Dutch pond smelt, for the first time at this exhibition. In addition, new works by "Kuwapen (@98pen)" and "Rurunakku (@ruru79)" will also be on display, allowing visitors to enjoy the world view expressed by their own sensibilities.

In the sales corner, where you can enjoy a cool feeling in the hot summer, "Yogiba Kaziko (@marik0.iwam0t0)", popular for her transparent accessories that seem to trap a moment of the water scene, will exhibit her works. In addition, "erakuro-ya (@erakuro.kingyo)," which creates each piece by hand, plans to produce and sell its largest-ever aquarium piece for this exhibition. In addition, penguin goods will include "Glass Studio Frozen Ocean (@frozenocean_ruriko)," which expresses the transparency and loveliness of glasswork, "Komame.sha" which produces goods using cloth and paper, and "Penginya (@penguin_ya)" and others.
