"Ukiyo-e On the Move" is an immersive art exhibition that introduces over 300 works by Edo-period ukiyo-e artists such as Hokusai Katsushika, Kuniyoshi Utagawa, and Hiroshige Utagawa through digital art video content using 3DCG animation and projection mapping.
Following its opening in Nagoya in July 2023, it has toured to Kagoshima, Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Osaka. With growing international attention, including exhibitions in Milan in April 2024, Taipei in 2025, and Paris in 2026, it will finally be held in Tohoku for the first time in the summer of 2026. In addition to digital displays, visitors can learn about the history of ukiyo-e and Edo culture through exhibitions of famous ukiyo-e prints from the Edo period and their reproductions.
The limited-time immersive exhibition "Ukiyo-e On the Move AOMORI," where masterpieces of ukiyo-e that continue to fascinate the world across eras dynamically come to life, is just 3 days away from opening. Please enjoy this opportunity at the To-o Nippo Shinmachi Building.
