Hello everyone~! This is Saori from Kawaii Republic!

This time! A pretty amazing collaboration actually took place a few years ago! It’s a dream collaboration between San-X characters and works painted by that world-renowned artist everyone knows!

This collaboration took place in 2025 at the Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts, during the exhibition Van Gogh: The Dream Connected by His Family, which aimed to provide deeper insight into Van Gogh’s works! San-X characters like Rilakkuma, Tarepanda, and Sumikko Gurashi appeared with items inspired by Van Gogh’s works or painter-like motifs, making this a rare collaboration that is not only cute but also highly artistic!

Accessories and clothes inspired by sunflowers, as well as painter-like palettes, have been released as special goods—they’re so cute! With lots of fresh, summery, and adorable items, be sure to check out the Van Gogh Exhibition × San-X Characters collaboration goods!
