Hitohata's "Yokai Immersive Art Exhibition TOKYO ~Imagination of Japan~" has exceeded 80,000 visitors since opening March 27, 2026. A commemorative ceremony was held for the milestone. The exhibition, running through June 28 at Terrada Warehouse in Tokyo, uses 3DCG, projection mapping, and holographic screens to bring Edo- and Meiji-period yokai art to life.
The 80,000th visitor was a family from Kanagawa Prefecture who received commemorative goods including an original muffler towel, printed cookies, a clear file, and a T-shirt. The family said they enjoyed the variety of yokai designs and the mix of video, sculpture, and real ukiyo-e prints. The exhibition draws on works such as "Hyakki Yagyo Emaki" and "Hyakumonogatari" from the Edo and Meiji periods, displayed through 3DCG, projection mapping, and holographic screens. It also includes physical sculptures and explanatory materials on yokai culture, with cooperation from Nishio City Iwase Bunko and the Yokai Art Museum on Shodoshima.
