Pokémon × Kogei Playful Encounters of Pokémon and Japanese Craft

National Crafts Museum
Finished

Artists

Terumasa Ikeda, Kazumi Ikemoto, Sadamasa Imai, Kasumi Ueda, Morihito Katsura, Takuro Kuwata, Reiko Sudo, Yoshiaki Taguchi et al.
What kind of "chemical reaction" would occur if Pokemon and crafts were to meet head-on? Twenty artists, ranging from living national treasures to young artists, seriously challenged this question.
At first glance, the combination of these two artists may seem unexpected, but they have more than a few things in common. For example, the raw materials used in crafts and the energy used in the manufacturing process include earth, grass, metal, water, fire, and electricity, which could be described as Pokémon types. The systems for refining, cultivating, collecting, and exchanging techniques also seem to overlap in many ways with the thoughts of the creators and enthusiasts of crafts.

These works evoke Pokémon's appearance, gestures, and even their signs. Works that trace memories of video games, such as evolution, communication, the stage of the journey, and the most effective moves.
