The event features over 300 classic design pieces, ranging from stationery and bags to clothing and lifestyle goods, showcasing OSAMU GOODS' product development trajectory across half a century and allowing visitors to fully experience how "adult-friendly cuteness" has entered everyday life. ③ [Precious original manuscripts appear on stage for the first time] The event will showcase rare materials that have never been made public in Taiwan, such as original manuscripts from product development and design and production instructions, revealing how Osamu Harada started with illustrations and extended them to product, packaging and overall visual design to create a lifestyle brand that is deeply rooted in people's hearts. The illustration is taken from the documentary of the past exhibition "Osamu Harada: Finding 'KAWAII'" in Japan. This 50th anniversary special exhibition is a completely new plan, and the on-site content and exhibition format will be adjusted from the past exhibitions.
