The works of Fujiko F.Fujio, a manga artist from Takaoka City, often depict minor extraordinary events blending into daily life, causing commotion. Among these everyday moments, scenes featuring familiar foods play an integral role.Snacks that everyone loves, delicious-looking meals, and the characters’ favorite dishes. And sometimes, even extraordinary, unconventional cuisine makes an appearance…

At the Fujiko F.Fujio Hometown Art Gallery in Takaoka, the theme of “Cooking” and “Eating” is explored through the two-part original artwork exhibition “Scenes of Food in Manga” With a primary focus on the iconic Doraemon, a wide variety of original artworks from other works such as Mami the Psychic, Perman, and Shin Obake no Q-Taro have also been carefully selected and displayed.

 

 

Additionally, a new short film, An Otoshidama from the Universe, is being screened, and original pins and postcards released in conjunction with the new exhibition are available for purchase. Don’t miss the chance to visit this gallery filled with fascinating attractions!

Furthermore, the Doraemon Postbox, which has been watching over everyone using Takaoka Station from the first-floor Kotsu Plaza, was relocated in October 2024 to a spot near the station ticket gates for easier access and greater familiarity. Starting December 1, the postmark design stamped on mail will feature a special “11th Anniversary of the Doraemon Postbox” design. Whether commuting, traveling to school, or sightseeing, why not deliver a special letter with this unique postmark to someone dear?
