The "Higuchi Yuko CIRCUS" exhibition held at FUKUOKA ART MUSEUM from Thursday 24th December is a large solo exhibition by Higuchi Yuko, a famous artist who has limitless ideas on creating a world between fantasy and reality. Exhibits include over 500 pieces of paintings done in 20 years. With the theme of "circus" and the delicately depicted cats, girls, mushrooms, and strange creatures, there isn't simply cuteness, but also a touch of darkness. The world of circus presented is a mixture of fun and sadness, along with mysterious accordion melody and circus tents hung on the ceiling, eventually drawing everyone into "Higuchi's world"! Since reservation is required for the admission, visitors are able to enjoy the exhibition in a comfortable way. As you enjoy more of the delicate and dynamic artwork, you might find yourself getting addicted to them! Moreover, it will be fun to look for Higuchi's "hidden" messages and illustrations drawn at the venue♪

This whole room is open for photographing (*except video shooting)!! There is also a cute display panel outside the venue!



The "Hitotsume-chan" at the exit will see you off.

There are plenty of official items that are available only at the exhibition. As Higuchi happens to be a Hakata Torimon (popular Fukuoka made sweets) fan, you will find Hakata Torimon in official can packaging. Other than that there are a great variety of stationery, accessories, mugs, and other household items.


The capsule toy machines near the entrance of the exhibition room have attracted many people!
