[Artist Introduction]
(Divided by exhibition floor, in no particular order)
Kanako Nakamura / Confidence Archive Based in Osaka, she is the founder of lifestyle brand “kanakono.” She uses recycled fabrics, buttons, and other everyday materials to create fashionable three-dimensional works. This exhibition features a dedicated stage, inviting viewers to step into the work and feel the confident posture of the characters.
57 / Dream Archive With playfulness and fantasy as the core of her creations, she creates a dream world that can be walked into. A character called “Yumekira,” up to two meters tall, will be exhibited on site, inviting viewers to directly enter the work and embark on an imaginative interactive experience.
Yoshiko Hada / Improvisation Archive Living in Tokyo, she uses simple and rhythmic shapes and restrained colors to depict the visual world between everyday life and imagination. She was selected for the Bologna Children’s Book Fair Illustrators Exhibition in 2021 and 2025, and continues to accumulate international illustration energy.
Foufou Bunny / Humor Archive Responding humorously to the realities of life that are not so cute, in a cute but not flattering way. It proves that you can continue to create and seriously go crazy on your own path without catering to cuteness.
Yoshino Nico / Fun Archive Born in Kanagawa Prefecture, she founded Maison d’oeufs (French for “House of Eggs”) in 2020. In this exhibition, she will recreate the Maison d’oeufs store model, entrusting her creative wish to be remembered by the world with an egg theme.
eskimo / Guardian Archive Using cute and childlike animal characters, she depicts the sustainable crisis facing the ecology—polar bears lost in melting ice and ants running around for survival—reminding humans with gentle images that nature is quietly sending out a distress signal.
Daffy / Blank Archive Through Pow the Mouse, a cute gray mouse who likes cheese and bananas, he conveys warm companionship. Believing that “cuteness can make the world a happier place,” he makes everyday life quietly brighter.
Midori Harada / Travel Archive Midori Harada is a Japanese illustrator and art director who has been involved in the visual creation of the “Pokémon” series for many years, accumulating over 300 card works, and transforming the character Cotton Bear into a warm picture book image with a hand-painted style.
Lee Shan-Yin / Tranquility Archive A Taiwanese contemporary ceramic artist, she will exclusively exhibit the “Xian Xian Doesn’t Want to Move” series. The name “Xian Xian” comes from the lazy feeling in the Minnan dialect, depicting the real mood of modern people choosing to slow down and lie down temporarily under high pressure.
PEPI YASUDA / Love Archive A Japanese artist living in the UK, her work is influenced by mental healing experiences. With “love” as the core, she uses warm colors and images of flowers and sleeping people to depict the nurturing power of motherly love.
MONDAY MAMINKA / Naughty Archive The pen name “Maminka” means mother in Czech, reflecting her empathy for women raising children. Her works use gentle and straightforward language to depict the innocent and naughty daily interactions between children and cats.

It is suitable for viewing alone, focusing on how the relationship between characters and works reflects one's own state; it is also suitable for viewing with companions, discovering unspoken thoughts or missing emotional puzzles in different perspectives. "Lost & Found in the City" hopes to present the existence of every passing feeling, whether enjoyed alone or shared with others, it will become a part of the complete experience.

Reviews
The exhibition hall is thoughtfully designed, and each area offers unique interactive experiences! There are also artist signings and merchandise available for purchase on-site!
This exhibition is truly excellent, and the overall atmosphere is quite good. I hope there will be more exhibitions like this in the future, and I highly recommend everyone come visit. It's fantastic.
A very relaxing exhibition where you can get to know several artists at once. I hope to see more of their work in the future.
Here, you can find inner peace and explore your inner voice. I really loved this experience ❤️ I bought some merchandise to use in my journal and for my collection! 🥳
This is another way to find yourself.
The items inside are really cute! But it was a little below my expectations 🥲. You get a card when you go in, and when I left, I saw a blind bag with five items for 99 yuan, which made me feel like I missed out a bit.
The exhibition hall is small; you can walk through it in less than an hour.
The location is convenient, not too far from the subway station. Besides the exhibition hall, there are other places to visit.
