The first-ever "Pokemon" collaboration project with a contemporary artist was launched in April 2020. The artist is Daniel Arsham, who has been the focus of much attention from the fashion scene in recent years.
The two artists have collaborated on a T-shirt with "UT" and held a solo exhibition at NANZUKA gallery in Shibuya, Tokyo, in June. For their third collaboration, an exhibition titled "Relics of Kanto Through Time" will be held at the "PARCO MUSEUM TOKYO" in the "Shibuya Parco" building.
The exhibition will feature sculptures based on the motifs of characters such as Pikachu, Hitokage, and Gengar, as well as items such as Pokémon illustrated books. In addition, an installation that embodies the world view of Arsham's concept of "Fictional Archeology" will be exhibited for the first time in the world.
In addition, there will be a lineup of limited-edition goods created especially for the event.
Crystalized Pikachu ¥300,000+tax (Lottery sales product)
Sticker ¥1,300+TAX (limited to PARCO MUSEUM TOKYO)
Notebook ¥1,700+TAX (PARCO MUSEUM TOKYO exclusive)
