Kagami is an awe-inspiring project conceived and created during the final four years of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s life. Here, visitors don special headsets to experience a digitally reconstructed performance by Sakamoto at a grand piano within a mixed-reality space. This allows for a fully immersive enjoyment of the performance, at a proximity that’s impossible in a traditional concert setting. The experience will also be enhanced by dreamy 3D visuals that respond to the music.  The exhibition premiered in New York in 2023 and has since toured London, Taipei, Singapore, Melbourne and several other international cities to critical acclaim. Now finally arriving in Japan, this exhibition will feature an expanded version titled ‘Kagami+’. The venue will be designed for a multi-sensory immersion incorporating video, photography, text and even a scent blended by Sakamoto himself. In addition to the main Kagami+ experience, visitors will be able to explore other exhibits that offer deeper insight into Sakamoto’s music. These include the theatre and visual piece ‘Time, Time’ by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Shiro Takatani, ‘Ryuichi Sakamoto: Playing the Piano 2026 - D’, and a new sound installation, among other works.
