CLAMP Exhibition (2024)

July 3 - September 23, 2024 in Tokyo

The biggest CLAMP exhibition to date, the event showcases the original artwork from 23 works made by the group of four women, from RG Veda to Card Captor Sakura: Clear Card (technically 22 but they're counting Legal Drug and Drug and Drop separetely).

Over the years CLAMP has published a variety of manga, including those for boys (shounen), girls (shoujo) and young men (seinen), depending on the magazine they were published. Appealing to readers of all ages, genders and countries, their work continues to captivate.

The exhibition will feature a total of 800 original manuscripts (200 in color, 600 black and white), divided in 7 areas: Color, Love, Adventure, Magic, Phrase, plus Imagination and Dream.

C for COLOR. CLAMP colors the world.

Displaying a total of 200 original colored pieces from all 23 works (100 for each half of the exhibition).

This area showcases the variety of artstyles, techniques and tools CLAMP used over the years on their different manga. Includes pieces with colored ink, Copic markers, acrylic gouache, pastels, and digital art.

Even when publishing 2 different works at the same time the group likes to vary their tools: RG Veda (1989-96) was colored with ink and airbrushes, while Tokyo Babylon (1990-93) was colored with screen tones. The artstyle also changed depending on the publisher.

2. L for LOVE. CLAMP draws the forms of love.

The artwork in this area are divided in 8 types of love seen throught CLAMP's manga.

"The love depicted by Clamp is not singular—there is a straightforward love towards a significant other, but it can also be a determination to protect loved ones, a thought character keeps in their hearts, or even the conflict itself." (from tokyoartbeat article)

3. A for ADVENTURE. CLAMP weaves the stories of adventure.

350 manuscripts from 6 action-packed manga series: RG Veda, Tokyo Babylon, X/1999, Magic Knight Rayearth, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE.

Includes a synopsis of each work and selected scenes to follow along parts of the story.

4. M for MAGIC. CLAMP casts its magic.

The fantasy, magic, and mysterious powers seen in CLAMP works are seen in the moving manga pannels projected in 3 large screens in this area.

5. P for Phrase. CLAMP spins the phrases.

The first room showcases 40 manuscripts from xxxHolic.

The second room focuses on the power of words spun by CLAMP, exhibiting quotes form their works on the walls. Visitors can also pull one phrase sticker from the Phrase Box from CLAMP and take it home, or stick it to a wall in the room. There are 120 different phrases to pull.

6. IMAGINATION

Timeline of 35 years of creative work, from 1989 to 2024, featuring manga volumes, magazine issues, and more.

An installation in the center of the room also features quotes from a new interview with the four women specially for this event.

This is also the only area which features CLAMP's work in other media, including various collaborations. There is a selection of color illustrations, rough design drafts, and other artworks from Soryuden: Super Dragon Brothers, CODE GEASS, BLOOD-C, HiGH＆LOW g-sword, Cardfight!! Vanguard, GIFT (picture book by Ice skater Yuzuru Hanyu), The Grimm Variations, and HELLO KITTY.

7. DREAM

The last area is solely to exhibit a new illustration featuring Ashura (RG Veda) and Sakura Kinomoto (Card Captor Sakura: Clear Card), representing CLAMP's beginnings and future through their first and latest work.

"Kuro" (Black) and "Shiro" (White) are also the names of the new artbooks titled COLOR, which compile the artworks seen in the exhibition. A deluxe edition will be released at a later date compiling both volumes in one.

............................................

The audio guide during the exhibition is provided by Jun Fukuyama, who has played Kimihiro Watanuki in the anime series xxxHOLiC, Kobayashi Kotaro in ANGELIC LAYER, and Lelouch Lamperouge in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (CLAMP is responsible for character design in Code Geass) .

The place also features a store with a long list of products.

They also have the first volume of their various manga available to read, and a TV showcases the recently shared announcement video of the new anime project of Magic Knight Rayearth.

Another beautiful full moon in the sky, which means it's time for CLAMP's beautiful Line wallpapers!

Here are the ones that were posted, with watermark.

Here's the edited, without watermark.

Tl;Dr: Syaoran is on the left, and Syaoron is on the right.

Long Spoilers Below

This one is the Syaoran twins from Holitsuba. I didn't realize this before, but in the line post, the twins were called '小龍と小狼', which means one would be Xiaolang (Syaoran) or 'little wolf' and the other one would be called Xiaolong (Syaoron) or 'little dragon' in both Chinese and Japanese.

Syaoron = Xiaolong = 小龍: 小= small, little 龍= dragon, especially a Chinese dragon

Syaoran = Xiaolang = 小狼: 小= small, little 狼= wolf

This image from Holitsuba should give us context of who's who.

(Image Source)

"Notes on characters: Sakura and Syaoran obviously like each other, and Syaoron appears to like teasing his younger brother about that. Syaoron also appears to be the more mature twin of the pair, while Syaoran gives off a more innocent air and is more easily startled."

-quote from tsubasa.fandom

The kanji isn't listed on the source website. Without knowing the original kanji used for which character, it's just a 50/50 chance. Mistakes and mistransations can happen to anyone.

I delved into the JP wiki, and this is what I found.

小狼（シャオラン）

B組。海外からの留学生。真��目で素直だが、成績は四月一日以下。サッカー部と掛け持ちで剣道部所属。サクラとは恋仲（第1話）。

Xiaolang (Syaoran)

"Class B. An international student from overseas. Diligent and honest, but academic performance is below average compared to Watanuki. Also a member of both the soccer club and the kendo club. In a romantic relationship with Sakura (Episode 1)."

And, this:

小龍（シャオロン）

C組。小狼の双子の兄で、留学生。小狼とほとんど瓜二つでありながら、性格は多少真面目とは言い難い性格。バスケットボール部と掛け持ちで弓道部所属。第二部にて初登場した。原作における『小狼』に当たる人物。

Xiaolong (Syaoron)

"Class C. Twin brother of Syaoran, also an exchange student. Nearly identical to Syaoran in appearance, but with a slightly less serious personality. A member of both the basketball club and the archery club. First appeared in the second part. Corresponds to the character '小狼' in the original work."

Syaoran is more serious while Syaoron is light-hearted.

Syaoran is on the left, and Syaoron is on the right.

(That means the fandom link was incorrect about Syaoron being serious/Syaoran being innocent)

Rewatched Tokyo Revelations and Spring Thunder Chronicle for the nth time and still forever sobbing and grieving over what we could’ve had. The OVAs were SO good, like couldn’t they just… animate the like four arcs left??? Infinity, Celes, and the conglomery of the finale arc, and that was it. We could’ve had it all. Like imagine Celes or the finale with Yuki Kajiura’s music, I think I’d just about die again. Fai’s backstory with “I Talk to the Rain”, C!Syaoran and R!Syaoran’s final fight with “Song of Storm and Fire”. What if we had an xxxHolic ost for the Watanuki identity reveal in R!Syaoran’s backstory? Forever grieving what we could’ve had.

New chapter

Different Directions - Chapter 10: Loved It's been one shit week. One of the reasons I wrote this fic much faster than planned was that it helped me to make peace with my own grief. Both as a Ukrainian living through a war, and my personal, weird grief, the one you get in advance: my grandma was slowly dying from cancer, fading away and losing parts of herself more and more every day. We cared for her ourselves, so this year I learned a lot more about palliative care that I ever planned to. Yesterday she died in what I hope was a light, freeing death. This chapter was to be published yesterday, but of course, plans changed. Still I have to something with myself today, why not post it? The next one is going to be the hardest one, the one I planned right from the start. What a coincidence, huh

This chapter has a lot of answers, bit still not all of them. I am not too fond of it, but there are some parts I loved. I just had to play with Watanuki's lost memories, because he is a very clever guy and no way he never made the connections about the role of C!Sakura and C!Syaoran in his life. And at first I surprised myself by inserting the CCS!Sakura to the plot, but it makes so much sense! She is another dreamseer, after all, and of course that weird network of Sakuras in dream would drag her into this dream as well.

You will need two last omakes of Horitsuba for this - Get ready to meet the Exchange student and that last one about the costumed play. And the soundtrack to this chapter is Hozier's "Talk", because imagine being loved by Watanuki?

In the end, I want to tell everybody going through loss and grief right now that there's still light to be found around you. It might not change anything or eclipse that hollowness inside. But it can give you a moment of rest, an accidental smile to relax tense jaws, a warmness of someone's genuine interest and concern. Allow yourself this light and this smile and this rest. Love to all my readers and big hugs to everyone commenting, you are the best!

happy munday everyone!! my name is bee (she/her), i'm 29 years old, and i write lloyd irving, kimihiro watanuki, and richter abend!

i've been rping in many different places for a number of years, though i've probably been on tumblr the longest, and was even apart of c*tta during its very first opening! i had watanuki there back then (though at a different canon point) and met a large majority of my friends there (maybe you remember me from gaiaonline, though. winkwink). i was so happy to join isola back in 2019 and meet even more wonderful people!!

other than these three currently, i've also written adora (she-ra, very briefly), red (transistor), link (botw), kurogane (tsubasa: reservoir chronicle), susie (deltarune), garry (ib), and bee (bee and puppycat)! am i gonna pick up someone else anytime soon? who knows... (probably)

i live on the west coast of canada and work as a payroll/scheduling clerk. most days i start my shifts at 5am, so i'll usually save any writing for one of my days off, unless i magically have energy somehow. i have an unfortunate obsession with CLAMP manga, have a very fat cat named willow, enjoy playing games with my partner, and play d&d every week with some great friends! my other hobbies are, uh, sleeping. i am always tired.

if you'd like, you're more than welcome to follow my twitter! it's locked, but i accept most requests, esp from people in isola. i can't wait to see what this year has in store for the group, and i hope i can continue to make wonderful relationships here!

C♥ntinued for @trattcria

After all this time it wasn't like he didn't know things didn't happen by coincidence, he learned that the hard way working with Yuuko so it wasn't strange this boy said that specially when he had this strong feeling that they might know each other already somehow or were related? no that last one didn't make sense, but at this point wouldn't surprise him.

" Yeah no need to tell me twice..." he let out a small chuckle and bent down " I'm guessing we must meet right? unless you are here to see Yuuko, or you are here to do both..." tilting his head he finally extended his hand to introduce himself "Watanuki Kimihiro...".
