Discover the Fascinating World of Yokai at NAGOYA

The enchanting "Yokai Exhibition NAGOYA - Imagination of Japan -" is taking place from July 19 to September 23, 2025, at the Kanayama South Building Art Museum in Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya. This groundbreaking digital arts event, produced by Hitohata Inc., is unlike any exhibition you have ever experienced.

Immerse in Yokai Culture

This exhibition merges traditional Japanese folklore with cutting-edge technology, featuring immersive installations that bring to life famous characters from Japanese mythology such as Kappa, Tengu, and the various Yokai creatures depicted in historical kanji scrolls like "Hyakki Yagyō" and "Hyakumonogatari." Attendees will be able to explore a fully immersive digital art museum that transcends time and space, inviting both young and old to engage with Japan's rich artistic history through innovative visual technology.

The official program for the exhibition, which is a comprehensive catalog filled with stunning visuals and insightful commentary, is available for purchase at the museum shop from August 13, 2025, and includes detailed explanations about Yokai culture and its evolution into modern pop culture. At a price of ¥1,760 (tax included), this full-color 72-page publication promises to enrich your experience before or after your visit.

A Collaborative Experience

With collaborations from notable institutions such as the Nishio Iwase Bunko, Japan's first ancient book museum, and the Yokai Art Museum located in Shodoshima, the exhibition offers a context and depth that explores the roots of these mythological beings. Learn how these whimsical yet fearsome creatures have influenced contemporary art and storytelling around the world.

Incorporating advanced technologies such as 3D computer graphics, projection mapping, and holographic screens, the exhibition aims to recreate a rich, vibrant world filled with the dynamic movements of Yokai, evolving from the original drawings of Edo and Meiji-era artists.
