[2024] A Taste of Kyoto at Kyoto Porta, an Underground ...
The "Big Swimmy Exhibition" is being held at the Teramachi main store of UCHU wagashi, where brightly colored "swimmies" decorate the store and make you feel cooler. [UCHU wagashi is a company that aims to "create modern wagashi" and produces and sells handmade wagashi such as rakugan, one by one. The store is lined with products so cute that they are almost too good to eat.
Among them, "Ochigami Swimmy," which has been sold as a seasonal summer product for a long time, is so popular that many customers ask, "Do you have any more Swimmy? Even after the summer is over, many customers still ask, "Do you have any more Swimmy? The popular "Swimmy" from UCHU wagashi is now jacking up the Teramachi main store! You can experience the world of UCHU wagashi, which makes wagashi that excite people and make them happy (TEXT/Yuri Sano)
This project started with the idea of "creating a space where visitors feel as if they are swimming together with the swinging fish. The swimmies hanging from the ceiling are all handmade by the staff of UCHU wagashi. The president of UCHU wagashi himself designed the swimmies, and the staff members printed them, cut them with scissors, pasted them with glue, and hung them from the ceiling with strings. The staff members were so concerned about the balance of colors, gaps, and string lengths that it would look uncomfortable if they were all hung equally. In such a space filled with love, there are hidden characters, so please look for them.
The display is like an aquarium of sweets. The president of the company used a "swarm of fish swimming in a school" as a representation of a "rakugan swimmie" in order to make it as enjoyable as looking at an aquarium.
The "Big Swimmy" exhibition is filled with the creator's passion and care. Enjoy a moment to be healed by the cool swimmies and forget about the heat.
