An Immersive Journey into Hokusai's World

Starting on February 1st, 2025, the much-anticipated exhibition "HOKUSAI: ANOTHER STORY in TOKYO" will open its doors at the Tokyu Plaza in Shibuya, Tokyo. This groundbreaking event aims to not only showcase the iconic works of Katsushika Hokusai but to provide an ultra-immersive experience that invites visitors to feel the very essence of his masterpieces.

A New Frontier in Art

The exhibition promises to be a sensory delight, integrating visuals, sound, and tactile elements to transport visitors back into the floating world (ukiyo) of the Edo period, a time that Hokusai vividly captured in his renowned ukiyo-e prints. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to witness dynamic visual portrayals of the landscapes and scenes that inspired Hokusai himself.

Imagine being surrounded by the fantastical imagery of Hokusai’s famous work, "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," where the mountain's majestic presence will spring to life before your eyes. Visitors can expect to feel a tangible connection with the artwork through three-dimensional effects—sound, wind, and foot vibrations—that augment the immersive experience.

Seven Unique Zones

The exhibition consists of seven distinct zones, each highlighting different facets of Hokusai’s artistry. These areas allow for an engaging exploration of his life and work, ensuring that visitors not only see but genuinely experience the stories behind Hokusai's art. This innovative approach is designed to captivate all ages, bridging the gap between contemporary viewers and a historical icon of Japanese art.

Furthermore, as participants journey through the exhibition, they are encouraged to interact with the displays, fostering a sense of connection and personal recollection through this exploration of traditional and modern artistic expressions.
