GUIDE TO GALAXY GRAND OPENING

The GUIDE TO GALAXY exhibition by Minoru Takagi is open to the public! Minoru Takagi (Papamou) is a jewellery artisan and besides assembling all of our bag straps, keychains and even setting the eyes of every single Uamou soft vinyl character, he has also made a collection of Uamou jewellery consisting out of diamond and zircon set silver brooches, necklaces and rings.

Not so much for his exhibition though, for which he has crafted an initial set of 55 copper masks that are made to snap onto the MASK UAMOU figures, an additional 8 large masks for the GALAXY REAL UAMOU (hand painted by Master Goto) and 20 copper winged SERAPH MINI UAMOU. The masks are carefully handmade and hammered in to shape. Each mask features a different design and is either set with stones, decorated with hand chiselled patterns, treated with fire to give the copper different color hues or it features a combination of these techniques. This makes each mask a truly unique piece and the entire collection is a sight to behold.

Minoru Takagi has a vivid imagination and he considers his creations as children of the universe. His designs often feature star maps and celestial bodies and in his own words he describes the MASK UAMOU as guides of the galaxy, helping lost souls back on their true path. The GALAXY REAL UAMOU have a bit more of an intricate description, their appearance is a mere afterimage that stood witness to the unimaginable brightness and brevity of the Big Bang expansion.
