AEON and Yoshimoto are practicing “AEON × Yoshimoto #MyBag with Everyone Campaign”, which helps limit excess use of plastic bags causing problems such as marine plastic waste, and which also, from SDGs aspects, encourages the world to switch from their single-use lifestyle.
In the Kyoto International Film and Art Festival × AEON Mall, to further spread such initiatives, Yoshimoto’s comedians designed monsters themselves as an interconnected project to the special collaborative event with Kyoto University of Art and Design called “Yoshimoto Comedians’ Hyakki Yako Digital Rally”. The monsters painted by those Yoshimoto comedians will be printed on My-Bags (eco bags), which will be presented at the Hyakki Yagyo Exhibition.
Don’t miss out on Hyakki Yagyo, the night parade of monsters on Yoshimoto comedians’ original My-Bags!
What’s “Hyakki Yagyo”?
Back in the Heian period, in Kyo-no-Miyako (now Kyoto), people used to conduct Susu Harai, where they would get rid of old tools.
One theory holds that such abandoned tools would turn into monsters, and then in the middle of the night, they would march on Ichijo Street from the west to the east as a troop. “Hyakki Yagyo” is a folklore associated with Kyoto so deeply that such a story still remains till this day.
