思考島物産は美術家の櫻井園子が2020年より始めた作品から派生した小作品や一点物のアートブックなどを制作・販売する活動です。2023年には自身が収集した雑貨などを販売する「思考島Select」をオープンしました。今回は「思考島物産展」として店頭販売会を開催します。デザインチーム「建築ダウナーズ」とのコラボ商品も販売します。

SAKURAI Sonoko will be selling a collection of original and curated products from her project, Shikoujimabussan.

Ongoing since 2020, SAKURAI has been producing small pieces and hand-made art books, originating from both her diverse array of creative activities, and artist collective collaborations which include Miyagi-based Kenchiku Downers. Aside from launching an additional online select shop in 2023 that features items from her collection, SAKURAI will be bringing her virtual marketplace into the physical world through Birdo Space as she presents her works for the public to experience first-hand.

Loosely translated as “The Thinking Island,” come explore the fun, whimsical, and colorful products you can find from SAKURAI’s creative world and bring home a nice souvenir that’s perfect for the winter holiday season.
