Japanese illustrator Kanahei began creating stickers in response to fan requests. These cute and practical stickers are not only loved in Japan but also set a record in Taiwan with over 200 million stickers sent in a single month. Her most well-known characters are Pisuke and the pink bunny, whose adorable faces make you want to pinch them. In this exhibition, Pisuke and the pink bunny will transform into magicians, leading everyone to the town where the little animals live. At the “Kanahei’s Charming Little Town” special exhibition, in addition to seeing these cute animals in their hilariously everyday antics, the exhibition will also showcase the author “Kanahei’s” studio, giving visitors a glimpse into how the animals are drawn and the process behind their creation.
