A New Way to Enjoy Eric Carle's Art

The beloved world of Eric Carle comes alive in a new and exciting way!

This innovative item will be available for purchase starting from July 24, 2026. HUNGRY MARKET is operated by Aand B Holdings, headquartered in Meguro City, Tokyo, under the leadership of President Jun Noda.
