Rilakkuma is a character produced by Japan’s San-X Co., Ltd. It’s always relaxed and carefree, dislikes standing or moving around, and stays leisurely relaxed at all times. Rilakkuma has a zipper on its back, and inside the light blue polka dots lies its secret. Rilakkuma’s companion, Kiiroitori, has a red button on its chest but isn’t an actual bear. Kiiroitori is mischievous and loves playing pranks, often bullying the little chick. The little chick, on the other hand, loves cleanliness and is always tidying up the mess Rilakkuma makes.
At the exhibition, fans can revisit Rilakkuma’s iconic looks alongside classic Rilakkuma series works. (Photo by MOOK Scenic Spots / Chang Ying-ying)
