“HOKUSAI: ANOTHER STORY in TOKYO” offers a next-generation immersive experience that combines visuals, sound, and touch to provide a new sensation of slipping back in time to “ukiyo” (floating world) of the Edo era, which Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) depicted as Japan’s leading ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world) artist.

In this exhibition, visitors can relive the original scenes that Hokusai saw when he painted ukiyo-e through a dynamic visual representation that extends across the entire field of vision. Furthermore, the sensations captured by Hokusai are reproduced through three-dimensional effects using sound and wind to match the images, as well as vibrations beneath the visitors’ feet. Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, Hokusai’s masterpiece, comes vividly to life before their eyes, transcending both time and space.
The venue consists of seven zones, each showcasing Hokusai’s charm from various angles. Through this journey across time, visitors will be transported into the stories depicted in his ukiyo-e paintings. The production committee hopes that all visitors will enjoy this new immersive experience that no one has ever experienced before.
