Meet Miffy at the Osaka Kansai Expo, learn about coexistence with water and a mysterious orb at the Dutch pavilion
Miffy was waiting for us at the Dutch Pavilion at
EXPO 2025 Osaka Kansai Expo Official Website
https://www.expo2025.or.jp/
This is the Dutch pavilion.
Miffy is standing.
Here's what Miffy looks like up close. Miffy is called 'Nijntje' in the Netherlands.
There is Miffy inside the building too.
Near the exhibits, there are books like the ones shown below.
When you open the book, you will see an illustration of Miffy and an explanation of the exhibits.
As I approached the exhibit area, I was handed a round orb.
Charge the orb with something.
Then the orb glowed orange. Grab the orb and proceed through the pavilion.
LED illuminations representing flowing water are installed in various places in the pavilion, and when you hold an orb over them, the color of the water flow and the orb changes.
There was also an exhibit where images were projected onto the ceiling like in a planetarium, explaining the relationship between the Netherlands and water.
The color of the orb changes as the video progresses.
There will also be an introduction to various water-related technologies, such as wave energy conversion and floating solar panels.
There's Miffy everywhere so you'll never get bored.
There is a glowing area near the exit.
When people with orbs gather in the glowing area, the intervals at which the orbs flash begin to synchronize. When four people who had never met before entered the area, they all said to each other, 'We're all here, we're all here!' and felt a sense of unity.
The exhibition ends with the words, 'Now, why don't we all try this challenge together?'
There is a souvenir shop just before the exit.
Limited edition Miffy stuffed toys were also on sale, although the price was not disclosed at this time.
There is also a stuffed toy holding an orb.
There were also T-shirts with Miffy on them.
