<\/a><\/p>\nAs the amigurumi industry is expanding, the World Amigurumi Exhibition is expanding as well! RESOBOX, as a Japanese cultural community center located in New York, is bringing back the celebration of amigurumi with a new theme by a diverse selection of artists.<\/p>\n
Crocheting cute creatures with yarn is what amigurumi artists normally do. This year, we\u2019ve decided to explore wider possibilities of amigurumi with the World Amigurumi Exhibition, not only with the unique shapes that many artists create with their own innovative ideas, but with unique materials as well. As a result, we are stepping out of the ordinary with the theme of using unconventional material, asking artists to use non-straight yarn to create their creatures. In total, we\u2019ve gathered pieces from 140 artists and 47 countries who\u2019ve used materials from their own countries such as special types of yarn, wood, wire, aluminum, felted fabric, ceramic, and glass.<\/p>\n
