Canal City Hakata Caricature Corner

Close to JR Hakata Station, Canal City Hakata is a large complex with everything but the kitchen sink, including shopping malls, cinemas, theaters, and hotels. Since 1996, the Caricature Zena corner has seen plenty of buzz, known for its talented artists creating distinctive caricatures like never before.

Each portrait takes about 20 minutes to complete. Sit back and watch as the caricaturist brings your image to life with skillful penmanship right before your eyes. With multiple artists on staff, each with their unique style, the resulting artwork varies significantly from one artist to another. Prices fluctuate depending on the number of people drawn on a single sheet, and individual portraits are welcomed. It's perfect for couples, families, or any group looking to capture a special moment. Caricatures can also be drawn from smartphone photos or other digital images.

The booth is located along the canal or on the 1st floor of the North Building. As the artists vary in their availability and location, be sure to check the official Caricature Zena website for artist schedules if you have someone specific in mind.
