A large-scale special exhibition jointly created by Taiwanese and Japanese teams—“Little Red Riding Hood ~ Train & Candy House Journey Special Exhibition”—officially opened on July 9 at Pier-2 Art Center’s Warehouse P2 in Kaohsiung. The highly anticipated highlights of the exhibition include the world’s first unveiling of seven brand-new large-scale Little Red Riding Hood plush figures, as well as a specially designed Little Red Riding Hood dressed in the pattern of Kaohsiung’s city flower, the cotton tree. Visitors can admire the manuscripts and works of Japan’s legendary illustrator Kazuji Kato, with each uniquely styled and imaginative scene in the exhibition hand-drawn by the master himself.

Starting from Little Red Riding Hood pulling her suitcase and meeting everyone on the platform of Kaohsiung Railway Station, follow the storyline of the fairy tale and embark on a train journey through six uniquely styled exhibition zones. Exquisite compositions create many cleverly designed scenes: the windowsill of the train carriage, the house of the Three Little Pigs, a fountain on a European street, the jumping squares of a fantastical Monopoly game, the Queen of Hearts’ croquet court, the pathway through the Dark Forest… attracting illustration fans to explore.

Both flat and three-dimensional materials create six themed worlds that blend reality and fantasy—from the platform and carriage, to the fairy tale forest, European streets, a magical castle, a dark pathway, and a sweet candy house. The vibrant colors and numerous delightful details and corners allow visitors to become Little Red Riding Hood’s companions, with the spinner determining whether their next step is opportunity or fate. Only by overcoming layer upon layer of challenges can they join the party in front of the Happy Candy House to celebrate Little Red Riding Hood’s tenth birthday.
