The Moving Ukiyo-e Exhibition HIROSHIMA at NTT Credo Hall has surpassed 30,000 visitors. The milestone visitor, a group from Hiroshima Prefecture, received original merchandise. The immersive digital art museum reconstructs works by Hokusai, Hiroshige, and Kuniyoshi using 3DCG and projection mapping, and runs through Sunday, September 6.
The 30,000th visitor was a group from within Hiroshima Prefecture, who received original Moving Ukiyo-e Exhibition merchandise as a commemorative gift. They said they learned about the show through TV commercials and social media ads, and invited friends after wondering what would happen if ukiyo-e moved.
After viewing, they called it fresh to see the people and animals in flat ukiyo-e moving, and noted the modern presentation and design. The exhibition, which reconstructs masterpieces by Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Hiroshige, and Utagawa Kuniyoshi with 3DCG animation and projection mapping, has drawn over 600,000 people worldwide.
