The sleek designer toilets that took Tokyo by storm in 2018 – and later even inspired the film Perfect Days – will host a unique photography exhibit this summer, showcasing works by world-famous B&W photographer Daido Moriyama from July 19 to September 23.
The main exhibition space, where Moriyama’s photographs of the designer toilets are displayed, will be the Hatagaya Public Toilet. Miles Pennington/UTokyo DLX Design Lab designed this toilet specifically with multifunctionality in mind. Envisioned to be used as an exhibition space or a pop-up kiosk – in addition to its primary function, of course – the toilet will now play the role of a photo gallery.
Moreover, don’t miss this opportunity to check out the 10 other designer toilets in Shibuya ward, which for the duration of the event will all feature toilet paper adorned with imprints of Daido Moriyama’s photographs.
Participating public toilets include: Sasazuka Greenway, Hatagaya Toilet, Nanago Dori Park, Nishihara Itchome Park, Haru-no-Ogawa Community Park, Yoyogi Fukamachi Mini Park, Jingu-Dori Park, Nabeshima Shoto Park, Ebisu Park, Ebisu East Park and Hiroo Higashi Park.
