The power of the weapons, which can actually be held in the hand, shone brightly at the exhibition.

Why did he decide to make tofu figures?
Only the artist himself can answer that question.
It is a philosophical exhibit that questions the nature of the human mind and the act of creation.




SEJ
SEJ exhibits his handmade palettes every time.
This time, too, he exhibited a large number of pallets that he cut out one by one with a saw.
He says, "Please use them for dioramas, pots and pans, coasters, and anything else you want to use them for.

A wooden rubber band gun was exhibited.
The elaborate construction makes it hard to believe that they are toys.

They exhibited many cool origami airplanes this time as well.
Also on display was a "Pachikoma" that looks like something out of "Ghost in the Shell.

Work Monkey" exhibited a lot of "PATLABOR" love.
The full-size hand revolver cannon was very powerful!


Guignol Zoukei Koubou Yoshino
Guignol Zoukei Koubou says that his love for Godzilla led him to create his own latex sculptures of Showa Godzilla.
He also demonstrated manipulation (a technique for filming miniature wire actions), and when Mothra and King Ghidorah began to move, many visitors stopped to watch.



Happy Industry
The exhibition was a monster paradise, featuring everything from popular tokusatsu monsters such as Godzilla and Mecha King Ghidorah to maniacal monsters!
