Ms. Hello Kitty has pretty much monopolized the unexpected collaboration market so far, but she is not the only one that shines with interpretations by artists in different fields of art. The “SNOOPY JAPANESQUE: Snoopy x Japanese Artisan” exhibition currently underway at Matsuya Ginza in Japan is exhibiting about 100 art pieces of Peanuts characters interpreted by Japanese artisans of traditional art, such as lacquer-ware, porcelain, and Japanese painting.

  1. With every thing that seems to be building within this specific subject material, many of your opinions are actually somewhat stimulating. Nevertheless, I appologize, because I can not give credence to your whole strategy, all be it exciting none the less. It seems to me that your commentary are not completely rationalized and in simple fact you are generally your self not really totally certain of your argument. In any case I did appreciate reading it.
