Official website: https://hokusai.anotherstory.world/en/
"HOKUSAI: ANOTHER STORY in TOKYO" offers a next-generation immersive
experience that combines visuals, sound, and touch to provide a new
sensation of slipping back in time to "ukiyo" (floating world) of
the Edo era, which Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) depicted as
Japan's leading ukiyo-e (pictures
of the floating world) artist.

In this exhibition, visitors can relive the original scenes that
Hokusai saw when he painted ukiyo-e through a dynamic visual
representation that extends across the entire field of vision.
Furthermore, the sensations captured by Hokusai are reproduced
through three-dimensional effects using sound and wind to match the
images, as well as vibrations beneath the visitors' feet.
Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, Hokusai's masterpiece, comes
vividly to life before their eyes, transcending both time and
space.
The venue consists of seven zones, each showcasing Hokusai's
charm from various angles. Through this journey across time,
visitors will be transported into the stories depicted in his
ukiyo-e paintings. The production committee hopes that all visitors
will enjoy this new immersive experience that no one has ever
experienced before.
