Ryo Inoue fills his one of a kind world with a pop-like painting style, unique animation, unforgettable music, and expressive activities. He is always churning out new creations that charm people of all ages with the desire “to make art that everyone can enjoy.” The self-made drawings, lyrics, and music influenced by Inoue’s unique sense of design match his playful animations spectacularly, filling the viewer with a sense of wonder. Our museum is opening its door to the colorful world of Ryo Inoue and will be displaying works from his collection as well as new animation clips, original drawings for animation, illustration pieces, and installations exclusive to this exhibition.
