### Exhibition Overview

The 'Poncikies Series,' an educational program for young children, aired for approximately 45 years, beginning on April 2, 1973. In addition to the dinosaur child 'Gachapin' and the snow monster child 'Mukku,' many beloved characters across generations were born, such as 'Connie-chan' who loves rock-paper-scissors in 'Jajajanken,' and the alien 'P-chan' from Planet P in the alphabet.

It is a program that has greatly influenced Japan's music and culture scene and remains rooted in the memories of many people.

It is an eternal program that continues to fascinate the participating artists.

This exhibition features new collaborative art pieces by Kintaro Takahashi, Shotaro Kitada, Sean Wotherspoon, Chocomoo, Donchi, minomi, Natsu Yamaguchi, Ai Niina, Seiji Matsumoto, and yooolk.

Furthermore, Tetsuya Nagato is responsible for the key visual of this exhibition, and yooolk is in charge of art direction.
