Put Pokémon and Kōgei face to face, and what sorts of chemical reactions will occur? Twenty craft artists, from a Living National Treasure to youngsters, have seriously tackled that question. Works that evoke Pokémon shapes, gestures, and touch.

Works that reach back into memories of video games —evolution, trade, locations for journey, super-effective moves. Plus invitations to Pokémon to become part of the vessels that adorn our daily lives and even ultra cool attire—kimono and obi clasps. What will the encounter with the works lying in wait in the exhibition gallery bring? Thrills, rapture, grins, tremors?

The power of multiplication rides again! Please enjoy the quantum leaps in beauty and technique it has generated.
