The New Year's art exhibition "MANGA×NENGA ~ New Year's Card Exhibition by Artists ~" will be held for the first time at Gallery Zenon, bringing together over 40 big-name manga artists and up-and-coming artists!



Enjoy a special art experience at Gallery Zenon this New Year 2025.

Gallery Zenon, run by a manga publisher, will be holding its first ever art exhibition on the theme of "New Year's greetings." This event will bring together over 40 up-and-coming artists, including popular manga artists such as Tetsuo Hara, Tsukasa Hojo, and Mine Yoshizaki. Special New Year's greeting art created by these artists will be on display in one place.
The gallery is decorated with a New Year's atmosphere, reminiscent of 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-related art works, we also plan to sell goods and fortune-telling 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 is a valuable opportunity to deliver messages of support to the participating artists. In addition, we will be offering 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



Seven Lucky New Year Udon ¥1,200
Did you know that there is a new type of udon called "New Year's Udon" instead of "Toshikoshi Soba"? It is udon topped with seven ingredients - lotus root, carrot, shrimp, pickled plum, red and white kamaboko, mitsuba, and grated kelp - to bring good fortune!

Herb sake 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 oshiru powder ¥820
The crispy monaka goes perfectly with grilled mochi and red beans! You can split it and pour it over the monaka, or you can put grilled mochi, red beans, and chestnuts on top! 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!
