Shijonawate, Osaka, Japan｜gallery & cafe Zoologique

Amazing and unique Zoologique place which created by the artist Tomonori Taniguchi with talented artistic staffs. He draw the poster for “Okawa Sakura Cruze” which is the official UN Water event for World Water Day. It was such a great occasion to visit his gallery&cafe. I definitively recommend to come and enjoy his art works. It is not only fun it is the real art museum at his home town in Shijyonawate.

I came from Nagoya with my wife and daughter. The walls are decorated with paintings by Tomonori Taniguchi. The space is cramped and picture books and goods are arranged in a tasteful way. Taniguchi's world was spreading on the walls and ceiling I heard that Mr. Taniguchi himself made lattes and shaved ice. I was deeply moved and took a picture. It was not only cute but also delicious latte and shaved ice I was able to spend the best time in a wonderful space like a dream. On the way back, I had the picture book I bought illustrated and signed. I was really happy. After that, I visited the gallery on the 2nd floor. It was also really nice and I took a lot of pictures. Thank you

I asked Mr. Taniguchi, "Are you okay?" Mr. Tomonori Taniguchi himself draws pictures of cafe latte etc. with latte art. We are also particular about the cafe menu. ☕️🖋️ characters in picture books *Saru-kun's keema curry *Tree Frog Matcha Chiffon Cake * Tree frog melon cream soda shaved ice 🍧 *Cafe latte * Matcha latte *White bear cream soda *Apple cake Banana and blueberry ice cake I bought a book of stories to celebrate my birthday as a gift. 📖✨ And the story of ′′ Pinocchio 🤥 ′′ published from France that I've been asking for since last year. From children to adults, I think this is a book that will touch and encourage you when you are feeling down to the bottom. ✨ The paper used for Pinocchio's body is a necessity to show the effect. That's why I needed French paper. The second floor of the Café is a gallery. A project to create 100 Santa Clauses 🎅 that will appear in stories before the Osaka Expo✨ You can revive your work by making and repainting while you are busy. When I was walking from the parking lot🅿️🚗, I saw several Santa Clauses🎅.
