■ What is the “Neko Yasumi Exhibition”?

This is a joint photo and merchandise exhibition featuring popular cat creators, both professional and amateur. Many famous cats that have gained popularity on X and Instagram will be featured, and the exhibitors’ combined social media following exceeds 3 million.

From heartwarming photographs that bring a smile just by looking at them to handmade goods that soothe the soul simply by gazing at them, the event showcases and sells a diverse array of unique works.

Since its launch in the summer of 2015 at “TODAYS GALLERY STUDIO.” (Asakusabashi, Tokyo), a gallery organized by BACON Co., Ltd., the event has attracted a cumulative total of over 2 million visitors, including regional events. It has also gained popularity as a rare opportunity to see the works of creators who are primarily active online in person.



■ What is the “Flat-Nosed Dog Exhibition”?

The “Flat-Nosed Dog Exhibition” is a joint photography and merchandise exhibition dedicated to “flat-nosed dogs”—breeds with short noses, such as French Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, and Shih Tzus.

Launched in the fall of 2015, it has been held at various venues, including “TODAYS GALLERY STUDIO,” “Kashiwa Takashimaya,” and “Namba Parks.” To date, it has attracted a cumulative total of over 100,000 visitors.

One of the exhibition’s main attractions is the opportunity to see up close the work of artists—ranging from renowned professional photographers to creators who have gained popularity on social media—whose work is typically showcased primarily online.

You can fully immerse yourself in the rich “snouty cuteness”—from the expressions and gestures that only photography can capture to the unique personalities of each dog breed.
