The plushes will be even cuter and more affordable at this year’s 3rd annual “Luv-able and Hug-able,” with the special theme of “Medium and Mini!”: toys that are either just the right size for hugging or small enough to fit in your pocket, swing from a keychain, or be worn on a pin.

Many favorite artists from the past two years are returning with cuter-than-ever plushes, and gallery hanahou is thrilled to present plushes from a bunch of hug-able new artists too! As in previous years, the gallery will also exhibit plushes by Japanese artists whose original works are rarely available in the US – this year, that also includes designer toy giants Devil Robots and noriya takeyama!
