The Majestic Golden Exhibition
From January 3rd to January 12th, 2026, the renowned Nagoya Matsuzakaya department store will play host to a special exhibition, the "Great Golden Exhibition," organized by SGC Co., Ltd., a leader in gold manufacturing and retail. This spectacular event will display over 1,000 exquisite gold products, celebrating the rising popularity of gold as its market price reaches record highs in Japan.
The Star Attraction: Shohei Ohtani's Golden Statue
One of the highlight features of this exhibition will be the life-sized golden statue of renowned MLB star, Shohei Ohtani. Standing at approximately 1.9 meters, this incredible piece utilizes 1,550 sheets of gold leaf and captures Ohtani in a moment of batting stance. Crafted under Ohtani’s official endorsement, the statue symbolizes his incredible accomplishments in baseball, such as recording 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season, a feat achieved by him in 2024. With a reference price of 55 million yen (including tax), it embodies the spirit of excellence that Ohtani represents.
Golden Collectibles for Fans
In addition to the statue, fans can look forward to specialized collectibles. The “Shohei Ohtani Pure Gold Collection 2025” will feature a gold medal weighing 100 grams and measuring 5.4 cm in diameter, celebrated in two styles: batter and pitcher, each priced at 6,985,000 yen. Furthermore, there will be K24 gold figures of Ohtani in three varieties - as a batter, pitcher, and dual-threat player - available in both 1/10 and 1/20 scales. The prices for these exclusive items are set at 18,260,000 yen for 1/10 scale and 5,610,000 yen for 1/20 scale figurines of the batter and pitcher, while the dual-threat figure is priced at 36,520,000 yen and 11,220,000 yen respectively.
A Grand Display of Gold Masterpieces
The “Great Golden Exhibition” promises a feast for the eyes, with pieces ranging from traditional Buddhist artifacts crafted by living national treasures to contemporary gold tableware that enhances daily life. Moreover, the exhibition provides a unique opportunity for attendees to sell their precious metals on-site, with free assessments conducted using advanced X-ray analyzers for accurate valuations.
A special zodiac-themed lucky bag will also be available for 2,900,000 yen, promoting prosperity in the Year of the Horse in 2026.
