Exhibition by Yuichi Kimura

We received an invitation to an exhibition from picture book author Yuichi Kimura—well-known for his "Baby Picture Book Series" and *On a Stormy Night*, and who also serves as a judge for the Digital Ehon Awards!

Yuichi Kimura has created a total of 1,000 works in Japan and abroad! The "Baby's Play Picture Book" series has sold 13 million copies, and the "On a Stormy Night" series has sold 3.5 million copies! It's so amazing, I'm speechless.

Here is the method Yuichi Kimura uses to create picture books, which I learned about when we collaborated on the “Yuichi Kimura: Trial and Error Exhibition” some time ago.

I’ve heard that some of the works from that time will also be featured in this special exhibition!
