The Tokyo Wonder Festival (ワンダーフェスティバル), or Wonfes (ワンフェス, Wanfesu), is a semiannual (February and August) event held in the Makuhari Messe, in Chiba, Japan. It is sponsored by the Kaiyodo manufacturing company. The main focus is to display and sell "garage kits", which are sculptures that usually represent anime and game characters, but also popular mecha/sci-fi characters and creatures such as Kuratas. These models are extremely detail oriented, and many of these sculptures appear in very small quantities due to the amateur nature of their reproduction. Aya Takeuchi is a Japanese artist known for her distinctive illustration and painting style that blends whimsical and surreal elements with a focus on nature and the human form. Her work often explores themes of inner emotions, personal experiences, and the relationship between humans and nature. Through her intricate and thought-provoking imagery, Takeuchi has established herself as a significant figure in contemporary art, with a style that has also influenced the designer toy and art toy scene.
