■ Background, thoughts and wishes leading to the holding of the event

Fukuzo LLC has been operating an art cafe "Art Cafe Shimizu Onsen" in the Hondori district of Tadotsu-cho, Kagawa Prefecture since May 2018, in a former bathhouse founded in the late Taisho period. He has been traveling between Nara and Tadotsu for seven years, aiming to make the area a tourist attraction.


The idea for this project began with the fact that many of the paintings Hidakanaoto drew as a student were purchased by residents of Tadotsu Town.


Today, the "Art Cafe Shimizu Onsen" decorated with murals painted by Hidakanaoto is one of Kagawa Prefecture's most popular tourist attractions, attracting an increasing number of visitors from Japan and abroad. Hidakanaoto's relationship with Kagawa Prefecture is deepening, as evidenced by the fact that he has been in charge of leaflet illustrations for Sanuki Kodomo no Kuni, the only large-scale children's museum in the prefecture, since fiscal year 2022.


The POP UP venue, "Dragon Canvas," is a 1-minute walk from "Art Cafe Shimizu Onsen. It is a souvenir store renovated from an old storehouse that was sleeping at the back of "Onomichiya," a former soy sauce store that had been vacant for many years and was reborn as an atmospheric space with different faces by day and by night. You can find Hidakanaoto's illustration goods and souvenirs that can only be found here.


The POP UP is expected to attract a total of more than 1,500 visitors during the period, partly as an event to attract visitors from the four prefectures of Shikoku and the Chugoku and Kansai regions, and partly in anticipation of Hidakanaoto fans who live in neighboring prefectures.


Hidakanaoto POP UP "Bonny Child Danuki" will be held for the first time at the old storehouse "Dragon's Canvas" as an art event aiming to make the Tadotsu-cho Hondori neighborhood, known as a historical street, into a long-desired tourist attraction.
