Dive into Creativity and Adventure

Get ready for a thrilling experience where art meets adventure! A groundbreaking collaboration has emerged from Japan, bringing together NOPPO from the popular dance group st kingz, the eco-friendly art supply brand Kitpas, and Ron Herman Kids, a specialty store known for its stylish children’s line. This innovative trio is set to release a special collection of products that encourage creativity and imaginative play, culminating in an exciting workshop event designed for children.

The Exciting Collaboration

The special collaboration showcases a delightful packaging design crafted by NOPPO himself, a talented dancer and artist who has gained recognition both domestically and internationally. The newly released Kitpas set features six vibrant colors, transitioning smoothly from white to blue, inspired by the aesthetic of Ron Herman. Each package showcases a whimsical creature known as the “WakuWaku Monster,” designed to inspire children and expand their imaginations.

The Kitpas art supplies are easy to use and even easier to wipe clean from smooth surfaces, making them perfect for inspiring young artists. The aim is to foster an artistic environment where kids can freely express themselves and explore their creativity through fun and engaging activities.

The WakuWaku Exploration Workshop

To celebrate this collaboration, Ron Herman’s Futako-Tamagawa location will host the “WakuWaku Exploration” workshop on September 5, 2026. This engaging event gives kids the chance to bring their drawings to life as they explore the enchanting world of the “WakuWaku Jungle.”

Children will embark on an adventurous journey as they interact with their own creations—the WakuWaku Monsters—using their imaginations. During the workshop, participants will don special blue-tinted sunglasses, which will transform their world and unveil hidden treasures.

As kids paint their WakuWaku Monsters with Kitpas, they will engage in physical activities alongside NOPPO, creating an immersive experience that blends art and movement. Kids will step into a storyline where they become the heroes of their adventure, eventually culminating in a joyful group dance celebrating their creativity and teamwork.

Workshop Details

The workshop is open to children in grades 1 through 6 and will run from 9:00 AM, with check-in starting at 8:45 AM. It is expected to last between two to two-and-a-half hours. For a registration fee of 5,000 yen, guardians can accompany their children at no additional cost, making it a perfect bonding opportunity.

The event has limited spaces, allowing for a more personalized experience, and registration will be open from August 21, 2026, until August 26, 2026. Participants are encouraged to register via the official Ron Herman website for a chance to be part of this magical experience.
