Discover Kawagoe through the Eyes of Illustrator Kin Shiotani

Seibu Media Communications invites you to immerse yourself in an unforgettable experience titled "Immersive EnTaMe" featuring the remarkable illustrator, Kin Shiotani. On March 29, 2026, at the Kawagoe Prince Hotel, attendees will take part in a unique and engaging event themed around the lovely city of Kawagoe—an exploration of its hidden treasures that even locals might not know about!

Event Details

This captivating live talk will kick off with an exploration of "Kawagoe Sanpo" (Kawagoe Walk), showcasing stunning illustrations and insightful tales by Kin Shiotani, making everyone fall in love with Kawagoe even more. The event promises to be rich with content, filled with inspiring creativity and delightful anecdotes that will spark your desire to wander through the charming streets of Kawagoe.

As a special treat for attendees, the fun doesn’t stop after the talk! Following the live session, a limited "After Talk Event" will allow participants to enjoy exquisite hotel-made sweet potato desserts along with tea, creating an intimate atmosphere for deeper conversations with Kin. In this exclusive space limited to just 30 participants, you’ll have the chance to capture personal photographs with the artist, making this a truly memorable experience.

One of the highlights of the After Talk Event will be a unique gift for every participant — a one-of-a-kind graphic art piece created from photographs taken by Kin during his Kawagoe exploration. Each participant will receive a special original artwork that reflects the essence of Kawagoe, adding a personal touch to the event.

Kin Shiotani is not just an illustrator; he is also a prolific writer with continual appearances on television and radio. With a solo exhibition planned at the Hakone Open-Air Museum in 2025, Kin's diverse portfolio of works continues to expand. This is a rare opportunity to learn from and engage with such a multifaceted artist.
