The "Kakuren Bone Card", which was popular in the first part of the exhibition, will be presented to the first 50 people each day!
All 7 types of cards will be randomly dealt. The Kakuren Bone Card focuses on three types of fish bones: the coracoid bone, which resembles the shape of a fish, the scapula, and the otolith hidden in the head. This is an original card that introduces mysterious bones that have different shapes depending on the type of fish.

・ Know bones, learn bones, and have fun! ZONE1 ~ 3

ZONE 1 Cartilage and bony
Focusing on cartilaginous fish and teleost fish, we will introduce the features of each.
While viewing the actual creatures, you can observe the beautiful and functional bones hidden in the bodies of the creatures that you would not normally see.
In addition, the work of Iori Tomita, a transparent specimen artist known for the new world "Transparent Specimen", will be exhibited at the venue.
Please see the beautiful and mysterious world created by the transparent specimen.

New World Transparent Specimen / Iori Tomita
New World Transparent Specimens / Iori Tomita
While attending the Faculty of Fisheries, Kitasato University, he was fascinated by the transparent skeletal specimens for research and started his own production. Although it is a real biological specimen based on the method of skeletal research, it also has the appeal of being a "modeled work" that makes you feel "life" more closely. It is attracting attention not only in Japan but all over the world.

What is a transparent specimen?
Specimens prepared by a staining method that dyes bones and cartilage in red and blue, respectively, and makes other tissues transparent. In addition to being used for research in various fields such as functional anatomy, it is also attracting attention as an art work. It will also save the lives of dead fish.

ZONE 2 I see THE Bone
Introducing the skeleton of living things and the presence or absence of bones that cannot be seen from the outside in a quiz format.
You can learn the "I see!" Bone knowledge of creatures that you seem to know but do not actually know.

All animals, including humans, have their bodies designed according to their living environment. "Why is this happening?" "What is the meaning of the shape?" And the wonders of the skeletons of the creatures are introduced in an easy-to-understand manner with the illustration panel of animals and humans due to human body deformation !! You can enjoy learning with the illustrations.
By exhibiting the illustrations drawn by the Sunshine Aquarium and the living organisms, the highlight is the original commentary that shows the parts (bones) that change when the creature transforms into a human being.
