Taisho-suji Papier-Mâché Art Exhibition

After hearing that the papier-mâché art exhibition at Taisho-suji shopping street included some anime characters I went and had a look. The closest JR train station is Shin-Nagata Station.



Just to the north of the shopping street there's this statue of Tetsujin 28, also known as Gigantor in some countries.




Closeup of the statue.




This was the first papier-mâché art I spotted at the shopping street.




It's of Lupin and Jigen from Lupin the Third.




Right behind it there were these ones of Serval from Kemono Friends, Oni from Hentatsu and Rin from Kemurikusa.




Closeup from 2F.




They also had a lot of other papier-mâché art on display.




Including this Eevee from Pokémon.




And other.




Characters.




I also saw these banners with Tetsujin 28 on them.




And a poster for the 10th anniversary of the statue. I've marked the location of the statue on the map below since the papier-mâché art is not currently on display.
