        Studio Ghibli Producer Toshio Suzuki joined via videoconference to talk about the backdrop to the collaboration, while local photographer Kanyada Prathan, who contributed many of her valuable works for the exhibit and the UT collection, took the stage at the venue to help enliven the event.

          Toshio Suzuki, Producer for Studio Ghibli commented: "Thailand is a country that I have a deep personal attachment to, having visited repeatedly through my interactions with Kanyada. I feel a strong personal connection with the country, so I am deeply moved for Studio Ghibli to hold its first exhibition in Thailand, together with UNIQLO. Kanyada's photos of a magical journey to Pak Thong Chai are a highlight of the exhibit, which I hope adults and children alike will enjoy, along with the UT collection."

          Yoshitake Wakakuwa, CEO of UNIQLO Thailand said: "UNIQLO Thailand celebrated its 10th anniversary last year, and through our LifeWear philosophy and corporate activities, we have sought to enrich the lives of Thai people. This exhibition was planned in collaboration with Studio Ghibli to express our gratitude to the people of Thailand for their warm welcome to UNIQLO and to provide an opportunity to brighten up their daily lives. I hope that everyone in Thailand will enjoy the world of Ghibli, which continues to charm people of all generations."
