The first ever art exhibition on the theme of "New Year's Greetings" will be held at Gallery Zenon, run by manga publisher Core Mix (Musashino City, Tokyo).
Enjoy a special art experience at Gallery Zenon this New Year 2025.
This event will bring together over 40 up-and-coming artists, including popular manga artists such as Tetsuo Hara, Tsukasa Hojo, and Mine Yoshizaki, and feature special New Year's art created by them.
[Features of the exhibition]
The gallery is decorated with a New Year's atmosphere, just like a shrine, creating a special space where just visiting will make you feel like you're welcoming 2025 with a renewed sense of renewal.
In addition to exhibiting and selling New Year's-themed artworks, we also plan to sell merchandise and fortune slips that you can purchase at your leisure. There will also be a special corner at the venue where you can write New Year's cards to manga artists and other artists. This will be a valuable opportunity to send messages of support to the participating artists. In addition, we will also have a special cafe menu to get you in the New Year's mood. Enjoy a moment that will satisfy both your body and mind with sweets and drinks that incorporate a Japanese taste.

[Cafe Menu]
・Shichifuku New Year Udon ¥1,200
Did you know that there is a type of udon called "New Year's Udon" instead of "Toshikoshi Soba"? It is udon topped with seven ingredients - lotus root flower, carrot flower, shrimp, pickled plum, red and white kamaboko, mitsuba, and grated kelp - to bring good fortune, and is said to be the "Seven Lucky Fortunes"!
・Herb liquor made with herbs and medicinal herbs ¥820
Habu sake is said to be a secret drink that is nutritious, invigorating and brings eternal youth and longevity. It is steeped in herbs and Chinese medicine, and then mixed with oolong tea to remove the unpleasant odor and make it easy to drink. Hooray for the Year of the Snake!
・Crispy Monaka with ZENON's special sweet red bean paste powder ¥820
The crispy monaka goes perfectly with grilled mochi and red beans! You can split it and pour it over the mochi, or put grilled mochi, red beans, and chestnuts on the monaka and eat it! You can also add vanilla ice cream for an additional 80 yen! The gold leaf adds a gorgeous touch.
All menu items come with a fortune cookie that will tell you your fortune for the year!
