Cardcaptor Sakura (hereinafter, "CS") is a manga series that was serialized in Nakayoshi, a monthly manga magazine for young girls, from 1996-2000. CS is a popular work that has captured the hearts of fans from multiple generations. A new series entitled Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card was created in 2016, 16 years after the end of the original work. This installment was later adapted as an animated television series that began broadcasting in 2018. The Cardcaptor Sakura Exhibition displays costumes that appeared in CS, as well as precious originals and replicas of illustrations drawn by the series' founding author, CLAMP.

The Tokyo exhibition attracted about 140,000 visitors between October 26, 2018 and January 3, 2019. From Saturday June 8, 2019 until Sunday September 15, 2019, the exhibition will be held in Hirakata Park in Osaka.

With fans in Asia and other parts of the world, CS has also been translated into multiple languages and is read in more than 15 countries.
