information

We are pleased to announce that gallery UG will present “Summer Beastfolk Caravan,” a solo exhibition by gallery artist Junko ASANO, at Hakata Hankyu from July 1st (Wed) to July 7th (Tue), 2026.

Junko ASANO creates humorous stories that feature personified animals within a retro and nostalgic world, expressing childhood memories and scenes that remain in one’s heart.
This marks her first solo exhibition held at Hakata Hankyu.
We warmly welcome you to visit and enjoy the exhibition.

This exhibition highlights her unique world of "animal amusement halls," inspired by the traditional Japanese culture of anthropomorphizing animals. We invite you to experience these nostalgic and delightful scenes.
