[Ueno] Launch Event for Photo Book Chronicling 15 Years of Ueno's Pandas, in Tokyo!
Overview
A photo book chronicling 15 years of Ueno's pandas has been published. To mark the release, a launch event will be held in Tokyo.
For many people, the name Ueno brings pandas to mind. Panda motifs are a common sight around the neighborhood, and the pandas are beloved as a symbol of the area. This photo book gathers 15 years of records of Ueno's pandas into a single volume.
Fifteen years is no short time. Simply turning the pages lets readers look back on the pandas as they were captured over the years. For those who have watched over the pandas in Ueno, the book may bring back memories of those times. For those less familiar with Ueno's pandas, it offers a way to get to know their story.
The launch event will take place in Tokyo to celebrate the book's publication. Whether before or after picking up a copy, it should be an opportunity to revisit the 15-year journey captured in these records.
If you've been cheering on Ueno's pandas or are interested in the photo book, keep an eye out for further announcements.
