'Amazon Creature Cookies' Co-Developed by Professor MUKAI Takahiko from the Faculty of Regional Studies have now been commercialized.
'Amazon Creature Cookies' co-developed by Professor MUKAI Takahiko from the Faculty of Regional Studies at Gifu University, the World Freshwater Aquarium 'Aqua Toto Gifu' (Kakamigahara City, Gifu Prefecture) and the creature cookie art specialty shop 'Kurimaro Collection' in Mie Prefecture, have been commercialized. These cookies are crafted to convey the charm of biodiversity, featuring 26 different creatures that inhabit the Amazon River basin.
'Kurimaro Collection' is a store specializing in cookie art that delicately expresses the individuality and ecology of creatures. This collaboration was timed with Aqua Toto Gifu's special exhibition 'Wild Amazon: Amazon Supreme!' and features cookie art of 26 iconic Amazon species, including piranhas and electric eels. Through these cookies, people can enjoy the unique charm of these creatures.
Professor Mukai and the curators at Aqua Toto Gifu supervised the creation of the cookie art. To clearly convey the unique ecology and behavior of each species, they paid meticulous attention to details such as body color, shape, and movement. For example, they faithfully reproduced the piranha's coloration and glittery appearance, as well as the unique wavy lines of the electric eel's tail fin.
Professor Mukai commented, 'The Amazon is the most biodiverse region on Earth. I hope that by learning about the colorful birds, tropical fish, and the fascinating reptiles and amphibians that live there through these cookies, people will reflect on the importance of biodiversity.'
