A special event taking place at the Seibu Ikebukuro Art Gallery in August will explore the works of Osamu Watanabe (1980 - ), a Yamaguchi-born contemporary artist who is famous for using resin cream and piping bags to create some truly unique sculptures. Around 35 animal-themed works will be on display at the event, including a "Rainbow Zebra", "Sweet Panther", and "Sweet Boar".
The exhibition runs from 10 am until 8 pm in line with the department store hours, but do note that on the final day the event closes at 4 pm.
