■ Background of the Exhibition
Jyojimura is an illustrator who started her activities on X (formerly Twitter) in 2016 with the concept of a 'fictional little girl,' retaining the nuance of a child's drawing. Her designs, which combine a loose touch like a child's doodle with adult cynical humor, have gained support for their pleasant sense of relaxation that makes you chuckle and feel your shoulders relax every time you see them.
In recent years, her ability to spread on social media has been remarkable, with a representative work's post receiving 16.43 million impressions / 81,000 likes, and another post recording 8.9 million impressions / 130,000 likes, resonating mainly with Gen Z. This exhibition is the long-awaited first solo show for Jyojimura, who calls herself an 'internet fairy' and a 'shut-in,' based on the concept of having fans come to 'meet' her directly.
Many new drawings are also scheduled to be exhibited.
■ Exhibition Highlights
Immersive Spatial Presentation: The theme is 'A Shut-in Girl's Room (Secret Base).' We will create a chaotic and pop worldview that reproduces Jyojimura's mind, with fruits, handmade decorations, and a cardboard house.
*Image is for reference of the exhibition's look.
Exhibition of New Original Art: Many new original drawings of popular characters such as 'Utsuneko,' 'Usao-chan,' and 'Sumio' will be on display. You can experience the unique texture of analog art, mainly using crayons, up close.
Sale of Limited-Edition Merchandise: Many limited-edition items available only at this exhibition will be on sale, including capsule toys (gacha), original art keychains, and the trending 'Tax Payment T-shirt.'
*Images are for product reference.
Harakado-wide Promotion: Jyojimura's illustrations will be largely displayed on pillar wrap ads in Harakado, delivering the worldview to people heading to the venue.
Collaboration with Lemonlife Shop: A special corner will be set up at the Lemonlife shop near the venue. In addition to exhibition-exclusive items, the shop will also offer original products.
