[Doraemon Exhibition] Yoshitomo Nara's "Dorami-chan Still with Her Ribbon Taken by Gian"

At the Matsuzakaya Museum in Nagoya, the final venue of the touring exhibition, I saw “THE Doraemon Exhibition NAGOYA 2018.”

It’s a full-volume exhibition composed under the work theme “Please make your own Doraemon,”by 28 groups of Japan’s representative artists.

Yoshitomo Nara, who presented the work 《Dorami-chan Whose Ribbon Was Taken by Gian》 at the previous “THE Doraemon Exhibition” (held from 2002), also exhibited many works this time.

For Nara, Doraemon is “Dorami-chan.”
She gives the impression of a character with few chances to appear in either the anime or manga, but seeing various expressions, it felt like watching a “new Doraemon.”

This makes you wonder what kind of work he’ll show at the next Doraemon exhibition… but how many years from now will we get to see it? Something to look forward to!
