A photo exhibition will be held from April 4th to commemorate the release of the photo book "Reng to Toru" of "Toru-kun". The venue is the gallery "TODAYS GALLERY STUDIO", which handles popular photo exhibitions such as the "Cat Holiday Exhibition".


Toru-kun is a stray baby cat protected by Mr. Ren of the visual kei band THE BLACK SWAN. The photo was posted on Twitter by Mr. Ren and became a hot topic.


In the band, Mr. Ren hits the drums with hard songs such as "The Hopeless" and "HATE YOURSELF UNTIL YOU DIE". The number of followers on Twitter has increased dramatically due to the people who "moe the gap" in the way that Mr. Ren protects the kittens and raises them hard. As of March 2016, the number has exceeded 80,000.


The photo exhibition to be held this time commemorates the publication of the photo book "Ren to Toru", which shows the growth of Toru-kun. In addition to the works published in the photo book, about 80 works such as unpublished works from the kitten era will be exhibited.
