Takara Mono, clogged in the head of a dog
It's a simple heart called "I love it"

"Hacoinu" is a cardboard puppy made from a pure heart by a boy who can't keep a dog in a housing complex.
One day, Hakoine, who has been left behind due to a mistake in moving, sets out on a journey to find a boy.
To deliver a lot of treasures packed in my head to my favorite boy ...

The theme of the story of "Hakoinu" is "an important treasure of childhood" for everyone.
Even if you don't know where you left it, if you don't remember the contents, you should never go away.
You will surely find clues to reunite with such thoughts at this exhibition.

Nostalgic texture, simple face, heartfelt gift

In fact, you should be able to feel at the venue that "Hakoinu" is made of recycled cardboard, and that it is made with ecological and analog feeling using cardboard anywhere in the world.
The simple design of "Hacoinu" with two boxes stacked, is strange because it is soft for some reason, even though it is angular, and you can feel the expression on the eyes and nose of only round and ellipse. Dreaming of a day when you can meet your favorite boy, you will never forget once you see the healthy appearance of a dog going to the city, and you will be remembered.
・・I'm looking for the owner.

Hakota, Hakotori is coming!

In this exhibition, we will focus on the story of the journey of "Hakoinu" set in the sadness of the Showa 40s, focusing on the original paintings that Hideaki Sato shaved for this exhibition with a gentle touch. In particular, this time "Hakoinu" encounters "Hakobuta" and "Hakotori". In fact, "Hakobuta" and "Hakotori" knew very well about "Hakoinu". Perhaps it was the boy who was looking for a "hacoine" who created them.

"Hacoinu" is waiting for you at the Logos Gallery, which has become a nostalgic space full of analog feeling.

At the time of the intersection of various encounters and partings, graduation and new life, we will introduce the beginning of the journey of "Hakoinu" in a photo story, and develop the scene of the journey and encounters with new friends in the original picture. At the venue, in addition to exhibiting and selling original drawings, original goods of "Hakoinu", "Hakobuta" and "Hakotori" will also be sold.

□"Hacoinu" profile

Height	37 cm
Weight	The body is light cardboard, but it is not blown away by the wind thanks to Takara mono clogged in the head.
Character	I'm curious. Positively.
Advantages	I can't get rid of it.
Disadvantages	I don't have a nose, so I don't know.
Favorite words	Patrol, rippa.
Weakness	It is weak in water.

□New companion "Hakobuta" profile

I'm always shy and shy.
An empty body that does not contain anything is put into a complex, and anything you pick up is put into your body.
I often drown in the water.

□New associate "Hakotori" profile

Kotori made from a cake box.
In Hakotori's head, there was a birthday cake that was supposed to be given to someone.
Hakotori still cares that it was not given for some reason.
I like chatting because of that, but it's something negative and suspicious.
