The Reveal of Hapiko by Yosuke Ueno x Toy Art Gallery (March 7 drop)

Remember our teaser-find a short while back, about TAG's new bronze figurine? (Well, you shoulda payed more attention! ;p) Now the cat's out of the bag, with this "official announcement" and reveal! Toy Art Gallery is very proud to present their first bronze sculpture; “Hapiko” by Yosuke Ueno.



Hapiko, as described by Yosuke, is a Lucky God, common in Japanese folklore since ancient times. She is a quintessential Yosuke Ueno character, a smooth, innocent figure, nose-less and without eyebrows. She is often featured in Yosuke’s paintings and represents the Happy Girl.
