Pop-up Celebration by Robert Sabuda

The exhibition, "Pop-up Celebration by Robert Sabuda," was held in Ikebukuro. His work is getting famous in Japan because of his shining talent. His work charms us with its brilliance, delicateness and incomparable beauty.

At the exhibition, the expanded picture books were displayed and opened automatically when we pushed the button.
The show that huge paper crafts were putting out was powerful and breathtaking.


Because it's much too 3-D crafts, I wonder how every pop-up is packed into the book when it's closed.

We got three books that we liked at the exhibition.
Cookie Count
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Alice's adventures in Wonderland


Open these books !!
You must be drawn into Sabuda's magical world !!
