4 Special Highlights in 13 Zones To Recall Childhood Memories With Sanrio Characters
There are 4 key highlights in ‘Our Sanrio Times’. First, the most delightful part is ‘Sanrio Village’ where 100 selected characters will team up at the exhibition for the first time. Some characters will take a ride on the Sanrio train which is made to imitate Sanrio Gift Gate of Gotanda, Tokyo in the 1970s. Second, the replica of the first merchandise created by Sanrio, Hello Kitty coin purse, will be shown first in Malaysia. Third, with the full support of Sanrio Japan and Sanrio Hong Kong, over 300 vintage items will be displayed offering an unprecedented visual experience. Last but not least, designers in charge of Sanrio Japan have been especially invited to create exclusive hand sketches for 9 well-known Sanrio characters, teaching us how to draw the lovely Sanrio characters step by step.
In addition to the 4 highlights above, the giant and adorable Hello Kitty plush in 3.5m tall, is going to have her first encounter with fans.
