A New Holy Land for Game and Anime Fans! The Shibuya PARCO Art Figure Gallery '1/ONE SLASH' Grand Opening

Since entering the post-COVID-19 pandemic era, people have paid more attention to art and diverse needs, rediscovering and respecting personal values. Against this backdrop, the art figure exhibition [1/ONE SLASH], directly operated by PARCO Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo), opened on Wednesday, April 27, 2022, on the 5th floor of the Shibuya PARCO shopping center. The theme of the first edition of [1/ONE SLASH] is "Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream," derived from the famous "Atelier" series by Koei Tecmo. The exhibition showcases and sells a life-size figure of the protagonist Sophie, embodying the essence of three-dimensional carving technology.

This art figure exhibition is a new business project for PARCO, aiming for the cherished "physical value" of the present era, releasing a sense of presence in reality, and is one of the creative experience values that PARCO strives to create. The name [1/ONE SLASH] signifies that each of us has something we consider uniquely precious. Because it is unique, it becomes more valuable and incomparably beautiful. Whether it's anime, manga, games, or various popular subcultures, they all fall under the realm of modern art. This is the dream journey we will ultimately realize, and it will be the most cherished [1/ONE SLASH] of a lifetime.

After the first edition of [1/ONE SLASH], PARCO will not be limited to the fields of anime, manga, or games. It will also prioritize the art and culture it has always valued, actively seeking cross-industry creative collaborations to build new brand value.

The partner responsible for figure production is Design COCO, a company renowned for its high technical skill and quality in life-size and scale model production, both in Japan and abroad. With its exquisite and superior modeling techniques, it has created a unique beauty of three-dimensional models that cannot be expressed on a flat surface, such as the scale figure model of "Jujutsu Kaisen," the life-size figure models of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" and "Hatsune Miku," all beloved by collectors. With the creator's concept of "this is a special space where you will find a treasure," a physical offline store of this art figure exhibition will soon open.

"Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream"

As the first theme of [1/ONE SLASH], we welcome "Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream," a derivative of Koei Tecmo's famous "Atelier" series. This work is the first installment of the 25th anniversary commemorative works of the "Atelier" series and is the sequel to "Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book," one of the best-selling titles in the series. The character design is done by NOCO and Yûgen, the illustrators of the "Mysterious" series.

It tells a story from the countless adventures of the alchemist Sophie, who leaves her hometown of Kirhen Bell and embarks on a long journey. The work depicts Sophie's adventures in the dream world "Edelweiss" as she searches for her missing partner, the doll Plachta, along with the bonds and legacy of the heart she forms with the companions she meets on her adventures.
