Comment from Senmu Miyawaki, representative of the Wonder Festival Executive Committee
Two years have already passed since Wonder Festival 2020 [Winter] was held in real life. There have been periods of time when Wonder Festival was not held, such as the "Reset Declaration," but this is the first time that Wonder Festival has not been held for such a long period of time. During this period, we also held online events such as "Onefes 2021 [Autumn] Online," but I believe that the best way to experience the beauty and excitement of modeling is to see it in person, and I believe that Onefes is the best place to be surrounded by countless wonderful works of art. I myself have been waiting for this event for a long time. I hope that everyone will come to the event and feel the happiness of being surrounded by wonderful works of art.

Wonder Festival
Wonder Festival is one of the world's largest figurative arts festivals, now in its 37th year, and since its relocation to Makuhari Messe in the summer of 2009, it has become an annual event with approximately 2,000 dealers (including 100 companies and 1,900 general exhibitors) and over 50,000 participants, attracting great interest not only from Japan but also from overseas. It has become a major event that attracts great interest not only from domestic but also from overseas fans. The "Wonder Festival" is an event where professionals and amateurs alike bring their garage kits that they have put their skills to the test and display and sell them. In 2018, "Wonder Festival 2018 Shanghai [Prestige]" will be held for the first time in Wonder Festival's history to expand overseas, and the "Wonder Festival 2018 Shanghai [Prestige]" will be held in 2018. The interest of overseas users in figurines has been increasing more and more. In addition, due to the impact of the new coronavirus, the event was held online in the fall of 2021. Approximately 330 booths were exhibited, and at the same time, online contents such as a video dialogue between Yoshimoto Plastic Model Department and Miyawaki Semm were distributed online, and an air cosplay project was also held.
