Okapiano | Mr.Ryoichi Takahashi |
 |
| I went to the Seibu Department Store in Ikebukuro to see the "Okapiano" created by Mr. Ryoichi Takahashi ! |
 |
| The "Okapiano" is a character united "okapi" with "piano" ! |
 |
| The "okapi" is a magical animal whose head is a giraffe and whose body is a horse with a rump of zebra. |
 |
| The "Okapiano" is a work whose back is a piano that has a device from which some adorable characters of the Andersen Tale will appear, when you touch the piano-keys! |
 |
|
With touching the key of "mi", the Ugly Duckling appears. With touching the key of "fa", the Emperor's New Clothes appears. With touching the key of "la", the Little Match Girl appears. It's a joyful work filled with puns & gimmicks ! |
 |
|
The face of "okapi" is the one of giraffe! He expresses its movement of eating leaves. What a delicate workmanship!! |
 |
| On the back side of the shelf, the okapi's back (part of the piano lid) and its tail were exhibited... |
|
You can see his idea sketches at the site of Mr. Takahashi And also, you can see the piano-key-touch at the TV Champion Official Site ! |
|
In fact, I forgot to bring my digital camera on the day, so I borrowed it from Pandakaban-san (0905-san) and shot them with it. Thanks, Pandakaban-san |
