The theme of Very Berry's solo exhibition is "Cute Rabbit" & the latest original artwork will be on sale!

Very Berry is an illustrator who draws bunnies that seem to blend into the world of humans with a unique view of the world, and her works, which are somehow cute and friendly, are especially popular at the "Usagi Shinboru Exhibition" and sell out as soon as they are released.


This exhibition, the first in a year, will be a rare opportunity to see and purchase 20 new limited-edition original drawings and more than 150 works on the theme of "cute bunnies". In addition, a special video corner will show the moment of birth of the illustrations. You will be able to see such a moment of the birth of a work of art.

What is Usagi Shinboru?

Rabbits are not only cute, but also have been regarded as a symbol of various things since ancient times. For example, it is the symbol of the moon, of speed, and of sexiness, and it is also famous as the logo of PLAY BOY. This exhibition is based on the work of rabbits, which are soothing just by looking at them, regardless of whether you are a professional or amateur artist, and will feature Shinboru-like rabbit works by the exhibiting artists. We hope you will discover a new image of Shinboru that is unique to you.
