KIKI!! CREATIVE GALLERY & CAFE (14-8 Akashicho, Hiratsuka) will host a group exhibition, Takazono Wonderland, featuring artists affiliated with KIKI!! CREATIVE, from Tuesday, May 12, to Friday, June 26, 2026.
Takazono Yosuke: Main Artist
The exhibition centers on Takazono Yosuke, who received the President of the House of Councillors Award at the 2025 Disabled Artists World Exhibition — his very first entry in a public competition. He creates highly individual collage works by combining words and items from video games, fast food imagery and logos, and his favorite motifs and lettering. One of the exhibition's highlights is an office chair he transformed into an artwork: he removed the backrest and covered it in paint and drawings.

Diverse Lineup of Artists
The exhibition also brings together an eclectic mix of artists: Yokomizo Sayaka, who received the grand prize in the handmade picture book competition organized by Zushi City; Ikeda Justine, known for package design work including the 3rd World Shop; Matsunaga Tsumugi; Mitsumo Nanami; Miyashita Kazuya; and Nishimura Yuri.
Exhibitions that bring together this many works by popular, individual-minded artists at once are rare even within KIKI!! CREATIVE. The space features a slightly mysterious, wonderland-like atmosphere full of liveliness and storytelling, making it an engaging experience for both adults and children.
