About this event
The Kogumachan and Shirokumachan Exhibition, an exhibition of the Kogumachan Ehon picture book series, will be held from December 23, 2026 to February 23, 2027 at PLAY! MUSEUM in Tachikawa, Tokyo. At the venue, play activities that jumped out of the picture book world—such as 100 pancakes, a mud pool, and pretend shopping—will appear, turning the entire museum into a playground for Kogumachan and Shirokumachan. A large picture book where visitors can meet life-sized Kogumachan and friends, as well as creative secrets behind the series, will also be introduced. It is an opportunity to closely see subtle differences in lines that are hard to spot in the finished picture books alone, along with the handmade craftsmanship behind the completion of scenes. It is a winter exhibition enjoyable for both adults with fond memories of reading the works and children who have started reading picture books. Approximately 70 original drawings, rough sketches, and lithographs will be exhibited, allowing parents and children to enjoy them while reminiscing about scenes from the picture books.
