A Journey Through Ukiyo-e at the Immersive Museum HIROSHIMA

Step into a vibrant world of Japanese art at the "Ukiyo-e Experience HIROSHIMA". This exciting exhibition will be held from July 18 to September 6, 2026, at the NTT Cred Hall in Hiroshima, and promises to draw attendees into the mesmerizing realm of Ukiyo-e, the celebrated art movement known for its stunning woodblock prints.

Produced by Hitohata Inc., led by President Takeaki Higashiyama, the exhibition features over 300 works from renowned Ukiyo-e artists such as Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Utagawa Hiroshige, and others. Attendees can expect an immersive experience that combines 3D CGI animations and projection mapping, creating a multimedia wonderland that appeals to both children and adults alike. This event is more than just a display; it’s an innovative digital art museum that allows visitors to engage with the history and culture of Ukiyo-e art.

In previous iterations, held in cities such as Nagoya, Milan, and Paris, the exhibition has attracted more than 500,000 visitors in total. Now, the Hiroshima event aims to captivate audiences with not only the animations but also with real Ukiyo-e prints that highlight Hiroshima's unique cultural significance.

Exciting Campaigns and Discounts

To enhance the experience for visitors, the exhibition offers a variety of discount campaigns. One standout is the Kimono Discount Campaign, providing a ¥100 discount on admission for those who arrive wearing traditional Japanese garments such as kimonos, yukatas, or jinbes. Guests wearing the attire will not only enjoy the discount but also benefit from an exclusive original fan giveaway, making for a truly picturesque visit. This act of wearing traditional clothing serves as a wonderful opportunity for guests to blend with the cultural aesthetic of Ukiyo-e art while capturing memorable photographs in the immersive environments.

Moreover, for sports enthusiasts, a Uniform Discount Campaign is available for attendees donning jerseys from Hiroshima's major professional sports teams, including the Hiroshima Toyo Carp, Sanfrecce Hiroshima, and Hiroshima Dragonflies. This initiative aligns perfectly with the local culture, encouraging community spirit and pride in local achievements.

Weekday visitors also have something special to look forward to, as those attending on weekdays can receive a unique original sticker as a special token of appreciation.

Captivating Features

The exhibition takes a multi-faceted approach by not only showcasing the artistic value of Ukiyo-e but also providing invaluable insights into Edo-period culture and the vibrant life in Hiroshima through Ukiyo-e art. Special displays will include significant works such as the "Battle of Miyajima" by Yoshitoshi, along with unique narration specific to the city, shedding light on Hiroshima's distinct connection to art and water. Noteworthy mentions include Utagawa Kuniyoshi's colorful series featuring goldfish, bringing a humorous and whimsical element to the exhibition.
