YOKAI Immersive Experience Exhibition is the world’s first immersive digital art museum where you can dive into Japan’s proud Yokai heritage. This exhibition brings to life masterpieces such as "Hyakki Yagyo" (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons), "Hyakumonogatari" (One Hundred Ghost Stories), and legendary creatures like Oni, Tengu, Kappa, and Tsukumogami (object spirits) using cutting-edge video technology and 3D modeling.
Born from the rich imagination of ancient Japanese myths and folklore, these Yokai have transcended generations to be loved by people worldwide. Through advanced digital techniques—including 3DCG, projection mapping, and holographic screens—the humorous figures depicted in traditional Yokai paintings and caricatures (Giga) are dynamically animated. Combined with detailed physical 3D models, the museum recreates a realistic world of spirits.
Furthermore, in collaboration with the Iwase Bunko Library (Japan's first museum for ancient books) and the Yokai Art Museum on Shodoshima, the exhibition provides in-depth commentary on Yokai art and culture. It unravels the history of these supernatural beings and reveals how they have evolved into the Japanese pop culture we know today.
