Kogei is a term used to describe Japanese traditional arts and crafts. Twenty artists, ranging from established masters to young and emerging creators, have drawn inspiration from Pokémon designs, evolutions, attacks, and journeys to craft unique pieces that merge traditional craftsmanship with the vibrant world of modern pop culture. Notable artists featured in the exhibition include Kasumi Ueba, Sadamasa Imai, Morihito Katsura, Takuro Kuwata, Saori Mizuhashi, and more.

  1. Adorable princesse Kako que je trouve plus élégante dans ce manteau ceinturé près du corps sur une robe noire ; par contre, les chaussures sont toujours dans le même style donnant une impression de lourdeur !

    Princess Kako always manages to look beautiful and elegant within the confines of what appear to be strict wardrobe rules for members of the Imperial family.

      she should follow her sister in New York and do something with her life instead of being a puppet for the imperial family

      @Anon 06:43: Maybe she does not see herself in the same way you see her and her role. And I am sure her point of view is more important for her own life.

    She seems to have more events than Aiko, is that because Aiko is still in school?
    Just wondering as Aiko is the daughter of the emperor.
