Also, the original drawings of “Usako-chan on Snow Day” (1963), one of Miffy’s first four works that has only visited Japan once before, and which features a winter outfit, is exhibited together for the first time.

These drawings tell the story of Miffy playing ghosts, flying airplanes, and spending time with her family and friends.
It is also an opportunity for visitors to trace the creative process of Bruna with notes that show how he repeatedly tweaked his words and cuts that were not selected for the books.

Baccarat Crystal Commissions YOSHIKI to Design Piece for 180th Anniversary
X JAPAN leader YOSHIKI was one of eleven designers chosen to submit an original design for Baccarat, commemorating the 180th anniversary of the crystal manufacturer’s Harcourt glass. The work was unveiled at Paris Fashion Week in Fall 2021.
Baccarat is a manufacturer of fine crystal founded in 1764 in the Lorraine region of France. The company’s iconic Harcourt glass features a hexagonal base with three-button feet and is known as a timeless and iconic symbol of the brand.
This year marks the 180th anniversary of the glass, which was first created during the time of Louis Philippe I. It’s hard to believe that these pieces have been on the tables of royalty for almost two centuries!
YOSHIKIMONO, the kimono brand created by YOSHIKI, has been featured at Tokyo Fashion Week multiple times. In 2020, his works were shown at the Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK, along with the Tokyo National Museum.
Known for his blend of rock and classical music, YOSHIKI continues to express his individuality in both his sound and fashion taste. From the front, the glass looks to be on fire, while from the top, there is a sense that a poisonous flower is taking bloom. The work is a one-of-a-kind blend of east and west and was a new challenge for the performer.
Comment from YOSHIKI
“I am honored to have been chosen as a designer for the 180th anniversary of Baccarat’s Harcourt glass. I’d like everyone to also keep an eye out for some new music coming soon. Thank you to all of the fans who continue supporting me in everything I do.”

Kaori’s Easy Recipe: Learn to Make Miffy Parfait Using Tofu!
With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s Easy Recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.
In this recipe, I’ll show you how to make an adorable Miffy Parfait using tofu shiratama!
Tofu shiratama can be frozen without hardening, so it’s great to use for cooking as well as making sweets.
Ingredients
250g refined rice flour
300g silken tofu
✩ This is about 1 bag of refined rice flour and 1 piece of silken tofu.
Canned fruit or fruit of your choice
①
Put the refined rice flour and silken tofu into a bowl and mix well.
⚠️ Do not drain the tofu!
Don’t add water, just these two ingredients.
✩I knead all ingredients and then freeze it.
Feel free to freeze it as dough, or boil it first.
You can put them in Tupperware and store them in water in the refrigerator for a day or two. Don’t worry, they won’t harden!
②
Add the coloring.
Take a little bit of food coloring and add as you like.
Here, I’m adding the yellow that will be the center of the flower.
③
After mixing the dough, place it on parchment paper and put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
You can shape it before placing it in the freezer, but chilling it will make it easier to work with.
④
Cut out Miffy and her flowers.
Place the yellow-colored piece into the middle of the flower.
Roll the rest of the shiratama into balls.
⑤
Boil the shaped shiratama while on the baking sheet.
Boil the round shiratama as well. When they float to the top, place them in cool water.
⑥
Place the shaped shiratama on parchment paper or plastic wrap and let dry briefly before adding decoration.
⑦
Mix black cocoa with a little water, and using the mixture, draw Miffy’s face.
⑧
Place the flowers and shiratama balls inside the glass, follow up with your favorite fruits!
(If using canned fruit, feel free to add the syrup as well!)
I hope you enjoy decorating this colorful dish!

Workshop in Kichijoji Opens to Celebrate Miffy’s 65th Birthday
In conjunction with the 65th Anniversary Miffy Exhibition currently being held at the PLAY! MUSEUM in Tachikawa, a special silkscreen workshop is coming only to PLAY! KICHIJOJI! The event, called A Little Kindness in Kichijoji, is currently open for reservations, and will be open each Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until September 5, 2021.
Dick Bruna, the creator of Miffy, often created posters using silk-screening. At the workshop, guests can choose from three different patterns and print their choice on either their own cloth and paper products, or on PLAY! goods. Each Sunday, illustrations from the book Miffy in the Snow can be printed on craft paper multiple times, eventually creating a colored Miffy! During the workshop, guests are asked to try making their own original goods using this time-honored silk-screen technique. No cheating!
At the venue, visitors can take their time reading stories from reporter Shunji Morimoto, who interviewed Bruma countless times. Each tale from his book A Little Kindness: 66 Stories will be available to browse and buy, along with a slide show of Miffy photographs taken by photographer Kotori Kawashima. Various original goods will also be on sale, so keep an eye out!
Won’t you come celebrate our favorite bunny’s birthday?
