MANGA ⇔ TOKYO

August 12, 2020 to November 3, 2020

Japanese manga, anime, games, and SFX films (tokusatsu) reflect the distinctive characteristics of Tokyo and the changes that occur in the metropolis. To what extent has the city itself spawned and shaped these fictional depictions? On the other hand, to what extent have these characters and works enhanced and affected the image of Tokyo? While focusing on manga, anime, games, and SFX films (tokusatsu), this exhibition traces the way in which these works have altered people’s memories of “Tokyo” with a host of original pictures, models, and films.
