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.
