Picture book author Tomonori Taniguchi is coming to Hirakata!
Taniguchi Tomonori's worldview, with its gentle and humorous stories and touch, completely captivates not only children but adults as well.
I'm sure many of you will find that as you read to your children, you will become a fan yourself.
So instead of just enjoying it at home, why not try experiencing it in a space surrounded by 7m-long bookshelves?
In addition to a reading by the artist himself, you will also be able to see Taniguchi's world take shape on canvas through a live painting session.
Featuring: Tomonori Taniguchi/zerokichi (Ukulele performance)
(The event will be divided into two parts with the same content. Please choose the time that is convenient for you.)
In addition, from (Fri) 2023 to (Tue), October 31st, 2023, we will be selling Tomonori Taniguchi's goods and prints at TSUTAYA BOOKS 's 2nd floor art space!
Please enjoy both.
(Viewing hours will follow the opening hours of the second floor, except on the final day when viewing will close at 5:30 p.m.)
