Step into the mystical world of yokai (Japanese monsters and spirits) created by the late manga artist Shigeru Mizuki. This exhibition seeks to explore the inspirations behind the ‘Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro’ author’s otherworldly imaginations.
Besides 100 of Mizuki’s artworks, you’ll also find yokai-related materials from his own collection such as ‘Gazu Hyakki Yagyo’ (‘The Illustrated Night Parade of a Hundred Demons’) by Edo-era (1603-1868) painter Sekien Toriyama, and ‘Yokai Dangi’ (‘The Monologue of the Monsters’) by early Showa-era (1926-1989) folklorist Kunio Yanagita.
Remember to download the Street Museum app (Android/iOS) for a cool AR experience at the exhibition. With it you’ll spot different monsters popping up on your screen. Once you’re done exploring the spiritual world, drop by The Sun & The Moon café on the same floor to enjoy food and drinks inspired by Mizuki’s yokai.
The exhibition takes place daily from 10am to 10pm (last entry 9pm).
