Venue: Gallery Commune

💡Antwan Horfee will be coming to Japan to participate.

TOKYO LAUNCH will be held to celebrate the publication of "Menko Toys" ( Topsafe ), the sequel to the acclaimed visual book "Menko Boys," which features Paris-based artist Antwan Horfee's vast menko collection.

"Menko Toys" is a sequel and expansion of the previous work, allowing you to enjoy both the appeal of menko as a collectible item and Antwan Horfee's anthropological perspective. Discover the unique printing techniques, the reasons why iconic characters fascinate people across time and distance, and a record that reflects the changes in Japanese society in the 20th century. Be sure to enjoy the world of menko, which is now a must-read.

In addition to "MENKO TOYS Menko Shonen 2," new T-shirts by Antwan Horfee will also be on sale at the venue. There will also be an autograph session with Antwan, who will be visiting Japan, so please take this opportunity to join us.
