The Wonder Festival, the world’s largest and most professional hand-crafted model art show, is here again! From June 8 to 9, I once again left Japan to land in Shanghai. Wonder Festival (WF) is a world-renowned model exhibition. The organizer is Ocean Court, an old Japanese toy manufacturer. WF is held every winter and summer, and is now held at the Makuhari Exhibition Center in Makuhari, Chiba Prefecture. The exhibition was originally founded in 1984 by General Products, the predecessor of GAINAX. It was taken over by Ocean Hall in 1992 and has been in existence for 35 years since (2019). The venue of Wonder Festival2019 Shanghai (referred to as WF2019 Shanghai) is the “Shanghai New International Expo Center” which undertakes many large-scale exhibitions in China. The space of more than 33,000 square meters accommodates 116 exhibitors and 228 individual exhibitors. One session, larger and more content. The scale of the exhibitions in China alone is absolutely unprecedented

The WF2019 Shanghai has a larger scale and more features than last year. It has brought together the well-known model brands at home and abroad. There are not only decades of old labels, but also new companies that have just been established. It is a paradise for Japanese lovers and a paradise for American collectors. At the same time, you will see more domestic hand-made technology and domestic original brand promotion and progress, as well as more personal studios and personal prototypes. The division provides a broader platform for self-expression
