Why You Should Visit

Makoto Takahashi, the painter who helped shape Japan's shōjo (girls') culture and was called a "fashion leader for girls", holds an exhibition titled Christmas Fantasy – Dreams of a Sparkling Holy Night at the Hankyu Umeda Gallery on the 9th floor of Hankyu Umeda Main Store. The show centres on Christmas-themed designs, with original paintings, prints and goods on display and for sale. Entry is free. It runs for only six days in December, so it suits anyone doing Christmas shopping in Umeda who would like to see his work as original artwork.
