Hundreds of thousands of brightly colored plastic toys collected from children from around the world. These toys gave birth to Toysaurus, a toy dinosaur that suddenly appeared at an art museum at the foot of the Haruna Mountains, in the uncharted land where it lives...

The artists Hiroshi Fuji is known for his unique activities that create platforms in which people can dialog with one another and create new relationships on a voluntary basis. For this exhibition, Fuji used an uncountable number of small plastic toys and twigs from the museum grounds.

One of the things engaged in by Fuji and his family is the Kaekko Bazaar, which now has a history of traveling throughout Japan. Through this miraculous system, once-loved but now discarded toys are once again taken up by human hands, sorted and brushed up. Now, in the form of Toysaurus, these toys once again see the light of day and are given new life. Why not join us to explore this uncharted land and listen to the story of Toysaurus?
