Initially it emerged as a literary trend, but its influence gradually spread to a wide range of fields, including visual arts such as objects, paintings, photography, and video, as well as advertising, fashion, and interior design. Surrealism brought about an artistic revolution, and while it also contained political elements, it also spread to scenes closely related to everyday life, approaching society from both political and everyday perspectives. This project aims to deconstruct Surrealism, which has had an overwhelming presence and expanded to visual arts and ultimately society as a whole, using the medium of expression as a keyword, and reconstruct the image of Surrealism.

The phrase kuidaore (‘eat ’til you drop’) is heard so frequently here that it’s practically the city motto. Delicacies from okonomiyaki (savoury pancakes) to conveyor-belt sushi were invented here and continue to thrive.With that being said, the Osaka Women’s Marathon is the place to be!!The Osaka Women’s Marathon is an annual marathon road race for women over the classic distance of 42.195 kilometres which is held on the 4th or 5th Sunday of January in the city of Osaka, Japan, and hosted by Japan Association of Athletics Federations, Kansai Telecasting Corporation, the Sankei Shimbun, Sankei Sports, Radio Osaka and Osaka City.The first edition took place on January 24, 1982, and was won by Italy’s Rita Marchisio.
