Captain Tsubasa's Milan exhibition opens October 28: ticket bundles from €18 and metal-canvas artworks

Captain Tsubasa is taking its cross-border football friendships into a Milan gallery. Yoichi Takahashi's Captain Tsubasa — ONE WORLD ONE TEAM Art Exhibition 2026 runs at iKonica Art Gallery from October 28 to November 1, 2026, daily 11:00–18:00. Organiser GAAAT lists Milan ticket bundles from €18, including admission and a selected merchandise set. This is a paid exhibition, and the Milan installation has not already opened on October 26.

€18, €36, €45 or €68: the merchandise changes with the ticket

The Milan information page lists four bundles: €18 for postcards, €36 for stickers and postcards, €45 for a cap and postcards, and €68 for a T-shirt and postcards. The T-shirt option includes one shirt, selected on site from three designs and a preferred size; the cap has two colour choices on site. Ticket prices are not artwork prices, and a more expensive bundle does not include every merchandise item. Items are collected at the venue, with no shipping according to the ticket page.

Choose a date and visiting slot when booking, and show the order-confirmation email at entry. The ticket page lists 11:00–13:00, 13:00–15:00 and 15:00–18:00 slots. Purchases are final, without cancellations or refunds, so confirm plans before arranging transport. Visitors aged 18 or under may enter free when accompanied by a ticket holder. That does not establish that a free accompanying visitor receives the same merchandise as a paid bundle; ask the organiser about those arrangements.

Metal Canvas Art: do not describe every piece as an original paper manuscript

GAAAT describes Metal Canvas Art as using a metal panel, dividing an original image's two-dimensional data into up to 32 layers, then building physical relief through layered UV inks. Observe how linework changes with light and angle. This is the organiser's description of production, not a stereoscopic film, and does not mean every artwork contains 32 layers. Takahashi's new drawing for the project and the material and manufacture of its finished presentation are distinct questions.

The central visual places characters in different national shirts side by side, while other images show shooting, goalkeeping and confrontations, translating sequential movement into individual pictures. The organiser lists edition sizes of 11 for exhibition-exclusive No.005 and 23 for No.007, Tsubasa vs Diaz. These are edition arrangements, not current remaining stock, prices or investment promises. Artworks are presented for viewing and sale, so collecting enquiries should be separate from ordinary admission bundles.

Where is iKonica? Plan around the Milan stop

The address is Via N. A. Porpora 16/A, 20131 Milano, also confirmed by the gallery's own website. Milan's five-day run is October 28–November 1; previous San Francisco, New York, Singapore and Hong Kong dates do not apply locally. The accompanying images are artwork publicity, not photographs of the still-upcoming Milan installation. They show the visual direction without guaranteeing the hanging arrangement or every work's availability for purchase on your visit.

Start with GAAAT's Milan exhibition and bundle information, then check your chosen ticket's available slots and checkout currency. The information page quotes euros, while product pages may display a different currency by region; a displayed yen amount should not be mistaken for a euro ticket price. The practical choice is which time and merchandise combination suits your visit, alongside observing how familiar manga images acquire different light and scale through physical materials.
