**[Exhibition Contents]**
**(1) Michiko Tachimoto**
**"Michiko Tachimoto's 'Dr. Circle, Triangle, Square'**
**The World of Picture Books ~Stories Beginning with Shapes~"**
This is the research lab of Dr. Circle, Triangle, Square. When colorful "shapes" are combined, meaning mysteriously emerges, and stories begin to move. See, touch, create, and vocalize. The more you experience, the more your imagination expands. Come, let's start researching shapes with Dr. Circle, Triangle, Square!
**(2) Kazuhiro Minami "Plump Three Brothers"**
Stripped-down beauty and lovable charm that makes you want to touch them. These are the three brothers—bear, elephant, and lion—embodying the core of my creation: "Minimal, Chubby, Playful." One night, they secretly escaped from the zoo and came to PICTURE BOOK PARK to meet many smiles. Their plump, gentle forms offer a moment of peace to soothe the mind in a busy daily life.
**(3) Mirari "Echo"**
"Echo" is an interactive installation that unravels the hidden journey of sound. Sound, liberated from words, transforms into light waveforms and heartbeats, vividly depicting the dance of invisible vibrations. Even the slightest gesture spreads as ripples of light in space, and by being visualized, one's own existence becomes part of the artwork, where sound and light resonate.
